Does anyone here have dilated pupils who's on paxil?

Recently I started taking Paxil because I was having pani attacks. However, my pupils are so dilated that it makes me feel like a freak and I don't know if I should keep taking the drug. Also It makes me very tired. Does anyone have any recommendations, experiences with any of other SSRI's that are positive?

    I take Lexapro for my anxiety/panic attacks. it's very mellow and the tiredness only lasted for about 4 days or so. it nipped them in the bud. i would talk to your doctor if it doesn't get any better. Anti-anxiety meds are suppose to "mellow-you-out", but it shouldn't be to the point where you wanna fall asleep. hope that helps.
    Good luck!
