Don't know that there is a name for that symptom... but with SSRI's each individuals response widely varies. (Emphasis on widely!) So much so that many, many, many side-effects are undocumented -- thusly typically evoke confusion in most MDs and they will try to find some other physiological problem occurring; as opposed to faulting the SSRI.
Even though pharmocologist don't know *exactly* why or how SSRI's treat depression. It is known that 95% of 5-HT (Serotonin) present in the body is NOT in the brain! So it is no suprise that many people experience such diversely adverse physical reactions to this class of drugs. Until the patents run out on them though, we will likely be stuck with them as first-line treatment for depression -- and just about anything else! (i.e., Cymbalta is approved to treat urinary incontinence in EU!)
That's all I have for that topic... no conclusions... sorry link : ) Maybe somebody really is pushing you though?? Have you checked that? ; )
Best regards link!
