In reply to Vent = tremor/akathisia when I upped my Prozac, posted by seeking information on October 20, 2014, at 20:25:46
> So I upped my Prozac dose (I'm on a low dose of 15 MGs as it is) and within 2 weeks, I have developed a nasty tremor in my legs. I can't sit still without anxiety, and my legs basically are stiff and with minds of their own. I've been taking some benedryl to offset this, but I cannot wait to get off this Prozac. This happened to me on Prozac years ago, and I completely forgot about it. Lesson learned.
> I am going to ask my PDOC to switch me off of it, and put me on a different SSRI, something nice and sedating.Fluvoxamine (Luvox)?
Among SSRI antidepressants, fluvoxamine is a uniquely potent sigma-1 receptor agonist. This will protect you from akathisia. It will also ameliorate psychotic depression, anxiety, OCD, and agression.
