> Paxil gave me nerve damage. My jaw was out of place and my back was arched a little bit. My voice was affected for a few days after I stopped paxil too. There is a history of dystonia in my family. If the 5ht-2 theory its true about the dopamine being depleted then serzone wouldn't cause any EPS like dystonia and restlessnes?
Bd21,
Interesting, I had the *worst* dystonia from trying Paxil (of all the SSRI's). I only tried 4mg/day for about three days (liquid) and had to stop it. My tongue was *zapping* and making it hard to talk-like way back when I tried Stelazine in the '80's. I for sure didn't get any restlessness or dystonia on the Serzone. It would be worth a try (the Serzone). The question is whether it does as much good as *standard* SSRI's, or whether its unique side-effect profile is OK.
