>..Over time I developed one hell of an intolerance to SSRIs which now cause me many side effects like muscle spasms and pain and akathisia. It's weird how the SSRIs are so effective for my general state of despair and yet they cause this agitation, restlessness, muscle stiffness, muscle spasms, muscle tension, and consequently pain...
Scott, this is *exactly* the problem I'm running into. The conductance of pain and dystonia specifically. Even the tiniest doses of SSRI/Efx/Cymb. set off neck rigidity and joint pain. This is on top of the IBS problems that they have always greatly aggravated. I think I'm going to have to permanently ditch them, but what's the alternative? I've tried SJW and 5-HTP didn't seem to help. I really am beginning to think an MAOI would be the only substitute.
