Paxil (I assume you meant that) can cause pupil dilation due to its anticholinergic effects. It did that to me. It goes away after a week or so at the same dose.
Glaucoma is listed as a possible very rare side effect; I believe this can result from anything which dilates your pupils for a long period, if you are susceptible - check your family history and see an optician if you're worried.
