Anyone here with movement disorders

Posted by 2ndXround on July 1, 2004, at 22:03:47

Hi
I figure I can't be the only one suffering.
I have tried about 7-8 antidep over the last 30 years, and never had any permanent problems after stopping them....until I took Prozac.
On Prozac I suffered extremely bad movement and sleep problems. I had muscle jerks that would flip me out of bed onto the floor when I was asleep, I broke my nose when my knee jerked up and my head jerked down....:(....I couldn't write my name from shaking and twitching, I hallucinated, heard and saw things and had night paralysis and night terrors. I also stopped sweating, literally, and had heat stroke 6 times. The doctor said these were side effects and would go away...he also did not believe me about how bad they were.
I quit taking the Prozac after almost one year and most of the 'side efects' went away, or at least got better. However, I was left with RLS that has gotten progressively worse in the last 8 years. It is 24/7. I also still have ticks, jerks and shaking...but not all the time and not that bad...although my eyes bother me from winking so much and my leg muscles cramp and get sore from the RLS.
Has this happened to anyone? I would love to know how to get rid of these movement problems. I have stopped going to doctors because they just look at me and say they have no idea how this problem could have happened.
Amy advice?
