I'd be going to your GP jumping up and down for answers, and if they can't provide it have them refer you to someone who can! There are many causes of unequal pupil dilatation and i would be ensuring that the most serious causes were excluded before assuming that it is due to Zoloft, at least directly.
Thanks mate, i new it wasnt good and you just backed it up, since i have stopped taking them, both pupils are very diluted, i woke up this morning with my jaw clenched onto my lip, ill be going to the doctor today. Thanks again
