Brian:
I know EXACTLY what you're talking about. I took SSRIs for long time in the early 90s, and then got sick of their side-effects, so I switched to Depakote and was on that for over a year and a half. When I got sick of that BS, I went on Celexa. Lo and behold... I started experiencing the "tightness around my waist" as you have said, along with acid reflux. I started getting waves of muscle tension all over, actually. I eventually weaned off of that after about a year and went on Topomax. What followed was the worst experience of my life, but despite that... the tightness etc. went away. While trying to recover my Topomax debacle, I went back on Luvox since it was a "known" quantity. The symptoms returned.
I've seen little or nothing mentioned about this until you posted it.
