Scott, what a reference guide you are!!
I would actually be interested in knowing if Effexor is tolerated by people with a vulnerability to tics or Tourettes, because it causes tic-like muscle twitches in me, at higher doses, and when not combined with serzone. It causes muscles I would never ever be able to flex volitionally, to flex fleetiningly. Paxil also caused this. With higher doses of paxil, it was so bad, my arm would flex, and shoot right up in the air when I was lying in bed.
I attribute this to an overload of serotonin, whereas I think in Tourettes, the issue is dopamine, though I am not well versed in this.
