Hello.
I've recently been diagnosed with panic disorder and have been treated with cipramil and benzodiazepines, which has helped alot (starting on CBT next week).
I have a question though: The last few days, when I was feeling really terrible and anxious, I've had dilated pupils. They were very large, even when there was strong light in the room. I stood in front of the mirror and leaned in close to the bathroomlight, and they were still really big - scared me to pieces!! I was feeling better yesterday and even better today, and they've since shrunken a bit, though they're still larger-than-normal. Is this normal? Is it because of the anxiety or the medication? Has anyone else experienced this?
Please help.
Love
