>That's why I earlier suggested Akineton or Artane, they have a lower atropine toxicity profile. The dilation you experienced was the typical beladonna reaction of where an effective dose of a drug exceeds the toxicity range. More than a few mgs/day of even either Akineton or Artane and you'll get into the blurry eye territory.
Sorry you had that experience
