A member asked:
Can you please explain why serotonin effecting (serotonergic) drugs cause pupils to get so huge?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Serotonin & Mydriasi: Ssris inhibit the reuptake of serotonin, leading to excess serotonin present, which stimulates the sympathetic nerves supplying the iris muscles in the eyes, causing the pupils to dilate.
