Extreme muscle tightness, jaw tremors, interrupted sleep, restlessness, sweating. This on 1/4 of a regular dose of any of the SSRIs. Prozac was the worst, given it's long half life. Two months of hell on that one. Had the same symptoms trying Effexor XR, low dose, opening up capsules and counting pellets. Cymbalta at 5mg was better, but while I had much more energy, it didn't do anything for depression or pain at that dose.
I use trazodone 50mg for sleep, but that seems to be ok, unless it's worsening my myofascial pain and I don't realize it. But I need something for sleep and traz seems to help. It could be that the combo of traz with the SSRIs made the serotonin overload type symptoms worse, but I needed the traz to sleep. The Effexor XR was tried without being on trazodone, so I think I'm just sensitive to the SSRI effect.
