> Ace, one of the pdocs with whom I work expressed some of the same concerns as you regarding Pakinsonian symptoms in long term SSRI users--she has had a several patients (out of thousands btw) where she feels there has been the appearance of TD--unable to clearly tie it to SSRI because of long history with psych meds--This is not a real concern of mine (I am 64) but I do have an academic and professional interest in it--do you have any particular references--it will save some googling Thanks fca
Hi mate!OK...at your age you have already lost 60% of your dopamine in the substantia nigra - this was clinically proven by Shipko, wh0 is both an Neurologist and Psychiatrist. Dr. Shipko is very pro Xanax, and I can see the validity in all his points....basically I read his interview and then went to my neuroanatomical books and did my own research to verify his claims. The best reference I can give is the interview
http://www.power-surge.com/transcripts/shipko8.htm
there are many with him but, and at times he does indeed contradict himself.
I'm crossing my fingers that we are not going to see what happened with the neuoleptics.
i have grave reservations of people who have been on Prozac for say 20+ yrs. I am very confident to say that I believe the ongoing use of SSRI's will further cause motor problems, and, indeed, Parkinsons etc
I never recommend anyone try an SSRI.
Reply back mate!
