I have been taking Lexapro (20 mg) for about a year. It did cause jitteriness at first. I took the herb Valerian which would very much eliminate the jittery feeling in about 30 minutes. Only buy Valerian that says "standardized".
I don't think that I have ever heard about the pupil problem.
I have never tried Effexor but I have read many posts about it over the years. It is a very safe and effective drug. Do not be afraid to try it.
