Mr. Scott,
Do you think it might be a vitamin deficiency brought on by the SSRI’s?
While I was on Prozac I had pain like carpel tunnel syndrome, when I tried Paxil I had multiple sclerosis like symptoms with undefined pain in most muscle groups. I also had unexplained pain.
I did find tho, that if I took a strong vitamin, like a prenatal, it wasn’t so bad.
Also, I made a point to exercise somehow 5 days a week. If I didn’t the stiffness would get really bad. Hell, my feet even hurt.
I am not on pro or pax anymore : and it seems to have resolved itself, although I still wonder when I wake up stiff and sore if it is something else. (I am only 32).I have no theory to offer except that it might just be some deficiencies.
It took me a while to get the point. Sorry.
I am now trying Cogentin to get rid of the Risperidone side effects.
Now that is muscle tension!
Yikes.
