A member asked:
Will xanax (alprazolam) cause the pupils of the eyes to dilate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: You may be thinking of some other drugs which dilate the pupils. Xanax (alprazolam) is a sedative and as such can give a signal to small automatic muscles to relax. But xanax (alprazolam) also happens to have a small adrenaline signal which works to constrict small muscles. In an overdose there would be more sedation than activation, possible dilated pupils and they may appear drunk. This is an life threatening emergency.
