Hi,
This is what a doc from another site wrote about my question:
The twitching usually goes away when the drugs are stopped. You could try a
beta blocker, like propranolol, for the tremor. That usually helps a lot.
Lowering dose of Prozac may also help, but it will take a few weeks usually.The muscle jerks with SSRIs are called myoclonic jerks and are just muscle
twitches and are not dangerous at all.Thanks for all the responses,
Dave
