Lexam 10 Side Effect Question

Hello, I've just started taking Lexam 10 escitalopram. I'm a 22 year old female being treated for depression/anxiety.

I'm wondering if anyone else who has taken Lexam has experienced dilated pupils? My pupils are huge and have not died down. I've only been on it for 2 days and I had quite a bad headache for an hour or two, which has now completely gone.

Apart from feeling nauseous and dizzy which I've been told is normal, I was quite concerned and wondering if it's normal?

Thanks

This NIH does list various optical side effects as being caused by this medication, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings, and weight gain.

It may take about 4 to 5 weeks for such side effects to go away, but they should gradually improve in the interim, as your body gets used to the medication.

Has there been any change?
