how do SSRIs cause EPS, akathisia, perm. damage?

Posted by iforgotmypassword on April 18, 2008, at 20:16:04

wondering how SSRIs cause this harm.
i have been afraid of anything serotonergic for years. i still have permanent EPS, rigidity, akathisia, and twitches. i stopped paxil in early 2002, but it has only gotten worse with time. i did try effexor for a while, a year or so after... but still it has been so long...
i may have had a predisposition, but this has happened to other people too. what is the mechanism?
should i continue to consider drugs that are serotonergic as off-my-list?
