> I was on paxil a while back and it was a life saver for me but it gave me terrible dystonia especially when I stopped it. Why do ssri's cause dystonia in some people?(I was predisposed to it). Is it the weak blocking of dopamine in the basal ganglia? I am terrified to go near any more antidepressants.
> I am about to try serzone. Does it have any action on dopamine?Just a question. The tricyclics seem to offer many differences in these areas. Maybe it is because of their broader action. Comments?
