Sulpicia,
Thanks so much for your reply. It helps me the most to get replys from other people. I do not know if the author of the book I spoke of is ant-psychiatric - he is a psychiatrist at the Harvard Medical School. There is so much information out there today that it is hard to know what to believe anymore!
I can see your point and it made me feel better. Now that I look back on my life (I am 30), I wonder is I have always had Turettes - I am always flexing a muscle, raising eyebrows, blinking, etc. Recently, when I went down to 75mg of zoloft and stayed there awhile it seems odd that I developed something different - and it feels very different than things in the past - when stressed a twitching around my left eye, jerking motion in my neck, flexing my abdominal muscles. I noticed that for quite some time now I also put air in my cheeks and perse my lips too.
It was only very recently that I thought of the possibility of Turettes, and then I found this tardive dyskinesia, which sounds so much like what I have.
I am also worried about taking the paxil as I go off the zoloft - at the same time - which I hope does not screw me up too much. Do you think the muscle jerking could go away on the paxil, or do you think being on any AD will cause these problems?
Thanks, and talk to you soon.
Dale
