> I'm feeling weird. Strange crawling sensations on my skin, prickling, derealization. Dizziness. I just have a feeling as though I'm in pre-seizure mode.

> This is what I wrote last night. I had to switch off the computer and get help because it was getting worse. My hands were doing some weird convulsive rhytmic movements while I was trying to type. Got up to walk to the phone and my legs started doing the same.I got the same thing when Effexor dosage was increased. It got worse, though, when my back muscles started seizing. The "clonic" movement is just plain weird. I even started dancing a strange prancing dance.
It feels, to me, to be related to Restless Leg Syndrome, since that creepy crawly tingling always signals an onset. The effect on me lasted a LONG time. I fear some of these drugs can do long-term damage, but I don't know, it could be coincidental.
