Assuming you weren't in a low-light situation (when pupils dilate naturally), it's most likely the Benadryl. Pupil Dilation is one side effect from antihistamines. Incidentally, Benadryl is considered a no-no for many people with epilepsy because of its stimulant properties.

Yes, I had to stop taking Sudafed last year, after going from two seizure medications down to only taking one seizure medication. I went for years being able to take sudafed, and then after getting off of Carbatrol and being only on Keppra, I started having seizures when I took the sudafed. Learned my lesson to stay away from those kind of things! Its limited to what I can take a for a cold now!
