I thought the start of this was cute. It is obvious that if it worked it would be widely used.
We have two brain halves but they are not connected in the same way.
Now to some observations. I am right handed. The autonomic dysfunction which showed in me at startup of zoloft was left sided. most effects were from mid thigh down. After the initial seritonin effects decreased, left side of body showed more tremor than the right.
When I recently changed over to celexa the quality of the surges changed from electric to hot /burning. still mainly left but by the time they dissapated were bilateral.
They have never affected my head or face.
If this were all brain mediated, we would expect body on one side & face on the other. It is obvious that the brain is integral as thoughts can trigger events.
There is a significant contribution from the autonomic system as well as the brain. There is an imbalance in some pathways & not others. There is not a consistant pathway error or everyone would have exactly the same distribution of symptoms.
no answers, just some observations.
