Hi. IMHO and also judging from my 12 years experience -I tried a LOT of tricyclics and then new meds as SSRI-, they ALL eventually give you EPS. I just came out of my last Prozac episode (3 years at 20 mg/day). I had dystonia 3 years ago (but didn't know it) and it got so much worst in the last year that I had to go off cold turkey (and nope, it's not THAT easy to go off Prozac after years of use and other tryings). I feel like I just came out of a nightmare -it's not really over yet since I have so much sleeping problems- and here it is: as if the dystonia condition was not enough, I now have to deal with an annoying tinnitus. Now THAT might make me go crazy. *** Does anyone know if the ear ringing will ever go away? The dystonia (ocular rest myoclonus, blepharospasm, facial tics, cluster headaches, photophobia) is a misery. But the tinnitus (ear ringing), I think I just can't take it.
Good luck.
A-2
