Hi Guys!
I have a question...has anyone gone down or off of SSRI meds and found there to be an increase in seizures. I was placed on 3 different antidepressant meds over the course of 12 yrs. prior to seizure diagnosis. One at a time. They thought it was anxiety/panic attacks.Switched me around.. I had a terrible time coming off of Paxil (horrible side effects coming off was HELL), Lexapro, was not too bad, (at least I don't remember it as terrible) Well..now that I finally have been Dxed and it hasn't helped at all with the chronic pain...I am coming down on Cymbalta. I have had some headaches, jitters, funny headed feeling, and an increase in seizures. I am trying to figure out if it is related or something else. Anyone else have this problem??
Thanks,
Michelle
