A member asked:
I've had pretty noticeable anisocoria. my mri was clean and neurologist says my pupils are round and responsive. could this be caused by taking ssris?

See neuro-ophthalmol: If this is anisocoria of new onset, then further testing than MRI shoud be done. Neuro-ophthalmolgists delight in such cases. Do you have drooping lid (ptosis), is your face dry on that side? Is there a history of trauma to the neck? Was the MRI of your brain or did it include your upper chest and neck? I don't think SSRIs would cause this.
