Um, why do drugs cause this, and why do they only cause this at higher doses that are, um, "fun"?

By "glassy-eyed" do you mean pupils dilated? Stimulants can cause that I know, and also when you take hallucinogens, but sometimes some people who wear contact lenses tend to have dilated pupils? I wouldn't suspect my yoga teacher is on any stims or LSD, but her pupils are soooo dilated!!! Must be some explanation.

>>>>>No, as in really shiny, white eyes around the pupils. So shiny, it looks almost like glass. Actually I think it looks cool, but it is a total sign of a druggie. Slight chance your instructor is on some med, or odd contacts, who knows. I know I get slight (3 or so red lines) red-eye, always have.
I took a really really really high dose of Neurontin once back when I was a kid (this summer) - I think I took like 4 800mg pills. Anyway, I got glassy eyes from it.

Yea, ya know, anti-seizure meds make vision blurry, well I know that's different than glassy eyes, but when you took that dose of Neurontin, was your vision blurred?
Lamictal blurred my vision quite a bit at first.
Did someone point it out to you that you looked glassy-eyed or did you notice it yourself? Are you on any stims?

>Wasn't taking it at same time, but yeah, I'm on Adderall. Someone pointed the glassiness out to me. And some times Neurontin, in the higher doses, makes perception odd, but not actual vision, just how the vision is processed in my head is sort of funny. Kind of odd, really, but not bad. Just interesting.

This may sound weird - but I noticed my eyes feeling glassy and some odd tearing after starting Lexapro. I also noticed that my eyes would start to water after having one beer (I'm not a drinker - just every so often). I am on Dexedrine and my pupils are very big because of it. I also have noticed glassy eyes in the past when taking an opiate - like darvocet or vicodin.

Don't worry, chicks dig the glassy eyes."Yeah, you know I'm cool, you want my Lexapro-induced glassy eyes, baby"
