Hi I have a question, did your dystonias go away when
you stopped paxil? Also what were your dystonia like?By the way, Serzone may increase dopamine release
via its serotonin 5ht-2 blockade. The probability of dystonia
is probably pretty low.Thanks for the information.

> I was on paxil a while back and it was a life saver for me but it gave me terrible dystonia especially when I stopped it. Why do ssri's cause dystonia in some people?(I was predisposed to it). Is it the weak blocking of dopamine in the basal ganglia? I am terrified to go near any more antidepressants.
> I am about to try serzone. Does it have any action on dopamine?
