> pardon me for being ignorant possibly, but I don't think you can get TD from an SSRI, only from an antipsychoctic... like geodon/zyprexa et al... I don't doubt you are having withdrawl symptoms, but probably not TD. Someone please correct me if im wrong...
I think I saw a woman (on some show like 20/20) who had a really bad movement disorder that apparently was caused by SSRI's.
To the lady who has TD symptoms - I think its awful that your neurologist has passed the buck on to you by chalking it up as a psychosomatic illness. Maybe I'm wrong here, but I thought that SSRI's in general caused some antagonism of dopamanergic pathways.
I'm not sure why your doctors think this is caused by your having read about TD... Didn't they consider that you had also read that it is antipsychotics (and not antidepressants)that cause TD?
