There are many drugs that can lead to large pupils. The more common of these drugs include some of the anti-depressant medications, antihistamines, as well as an anti-nausea drug called scopolamine. Poisoning with some plants such as hemlock can also lead to dilated pupils.
I'm not aware of a link with dyslexia and medications specifically.
