In reply to Akinesia (slow moving) on SSRIs (Celexa), posted by PeterJ on June 11, 2000, at 3:04:01
Dear Peter,
There is too much here for me to read, but I guess you have already considered the possibly analogous observations that SSRIs have produced akithesia infrequently in people being treated for depression, presumably 5-HT2 mediated. I don't recall any mention of comorbitity with schizoid disorders in these cases.
It would look as if your explanation of the latency of onset of this syndrome makes sense. Perhaps you have managed to uncover an idiosynchratic 5-HT2 receptor polymorphism that might account for differences in your neurobiological constitution and your paradoxical reactions to other drugs. Wild guess. Sorry.
Had you been receiving any benefit from Celexa otherwise?
Good luck. Difficult choice.
- Scott
