That's frightening...I guess I'm lucky in that I haven't had those kind of serious reactions but I'm such a chicken with meds I usually insist on tiny doses before I feel able to tolerate an increase. The SE's that I have had were severe Headaches with Jaw clenching and other times a worsening of my depression to suicidal levels.
I've never had Serotonin Syndrome, Tardive Dyskinesia or the other horrid, life threatening SE's so I should consider myself luckier than others, but I am very med phobic. But I feel that this has allowed me to tolerate many meds longer than I might have been able to if I started at higher doses. I only stop a med when the SE's become unbearable, then the depression seems preferable to physical distress.
