I never waited long enough to see if the movement issues subsided. I was having trouble writing legably in school and the doctor didn't have any answers so I just went back to the original dose.
I also have the jaw clenching issue, which doesn't help the orthidontic problem I have with my jaw joint. I'm complaining like I'm 65, better stop.
Many doctors would pump you so high on the AD's that you are smiling all day long. I am a strong believer that we should use the medications at the lowest possable effective dose. Just enough that you can implement all the other things that might help.
Docotors may say that if you're not in remission then it might return, but I'm more afraid that if I take my medication as prescribed (40mg of celexa, yeah right!!) not only will I be on it for the rest of my life, but that I might actually be *worsening* the course of my illness.
I've already seen enough change in my mental state from being exposed to SSRI's for 5 years,
to believe that they are that pancea that we once thought.
