I was put on Prozac after I had been totally clean for at least 12-13 years....and up till then I had no movement problems. Then I took Prozac, the problems suddenly started up and have continued ever since.

> My understanding is that as you get older, receptor quantities diminish slowly, you only need 20% to move normally, but once you cross the line, movement disorders appear rapidly. I doubt that Prozac caused your problem, but it could very well have been the straw the broke the camel's back.

Hi
Oh, great...20% ahhh?
Animal lovers must hate me...I probably broke the camel's back...(:....
So is this irreversible?
I know nerve cells, once dead, do not regenerate...but if the receptor cells are damaged, not dead, and the receptor quantities, although diminished, are normal for a person my age...do you think there might be something that can help?
I am thinking of the effects of smoking as a comparison.
The chemicals in cig smoke put the cilia to sleep so to speak. They are not dead, but are unable to function. The 'wake up' after a person has stopped smoking...and continue from where they left off....cleaning up things in the lungs so you can breath again.
What do you think???
