Sertraline (2900mg) and citalopram (280mg)
Thank you for getting back the requested necessary information.The half life of sertraline is 24 hours and that of Citalopram is 36 hours almost.So till both of these drugs come out of your system this can show some effects like mydriasis or dilated pupils.Compounding the half life, for this to completely normalise it can take anywhere between 5 to 10 days.If you are not having any other side effects then you can wait for another 3 to 4 days please.I sincerely ***** ***** I have helped you, and that I have earned my 5 star rating today!
