> I'm not an expert or anything, but it sounds either like low-level Parkinson's caused by the meds or a mild case of tardive dykinesia/dystonia. Does it go away when you're not on an ssri? I read somewhere that adding or switching to wellbutrin and/or a stimulant can help with ssri-induced parkinson's. If its a movement disorder, you'd probably be better off tapering off the ssri and adding in stuff like vitamin e, b6, niacinamide, melatonin.

Thanks for the reply. From the bit of reading I've done I was actually wondering about SSRI induced parkinsons. The problems do definitely decrease as I reduce the SSRI.
Maybe I'll talk to my doc about trying Wellbutrin. Thanks again!
