A member asked:
Why are my pupils quite large/dilated in the mornings when i have taken my fluoxetine the night before? is that normal? it doesn't hurt or anything and it goes away after a while?

Pupillary dilation is a well known effect of SSRI antidepressants like fluoxetine. It apparently is not affecting your vision. An ophthalmologist can advise you if you still have concerns.
