I had the same reaction many years ago when on Elavil. I couldn't stand the way it looked. I too thought it looked like I was a druggie, not good if you are looking for a job.
Anytime this happened I was usually on too much of the med as I can oly tolerate very small doses when taking most meds for depression.
You did the right thing by reducing the dose. Ask your doc if the dose is enough. The pupils thing should go away. If it doesn't I wouldn't feel comfortable with that side effect as others would always notice it and suspect drug use.
