In reply to Effexor causing jerking, posted by Timbuk2 on December 7, 2001, at 11:43:00
I had the exact same thing happen when I went to a higher dosage of effexor....it should subside...Possibly something like Clonopin could help you if the jerks are really bothering you? My hubby takes the Clonopin for periodic limb movement...It works very well....good luck, keep me posted.P.L.
> I know that Effexor can cause jerking of legs and body. It usually only happens to me at rest. When I was on XR 75mg it was very mild and managable. Now I'm up to XR 150mg and it's getting worse. Don't get me wrong, I'll take that any day over the major depression I was in, however, has any one had the same prblem? What medication works for this?
