Re: Paxil and Clonus / Seratonin Syndrome

[Guest guest]

cathy,

what i know about seratonin syndrome is that you would have to OD on it before

clonus and/or any other such side effect would occur. would encourage reading of

the booklet that seeems to be in 6 pt font that comes with any ssri to see how

such a thing could occur.

Paxil and Clonus / Seratonin Syndrome

Do any of you know anything about Paxil causing clonus? Or have you heard of

Seratonin Syndrome? I was just doing some searches on clonus and and articles

started coming up about it. I am on Paxil. Could it be causing my PLS symptoms?

Websites were talking about any drug that increases your seratonin causing

this...the SSRI's and some others. Paxil is one of them.

Thanks,

Cathy

Ya, I wondered if it was more of an acute thing than a chronic thing, but one

page that I read said that it could be from taking a normal dose or an OD. So,

that is why I was wondering if it could some how be a side effect? I guess I was

hoping that that was the case and that I all I would need to do was just get off

the paxil. I did start taking it just before I started having these symptoms

about 5 years ago.

Thanks,

Cathy

i understand looking for something " other than " or at least trying to figure out

" what " as i do it periodically myself. chances of seratonin syndrome occurring,

as i am sure you read are slimmer than pls happenning! good question tho! hang

in there! you would likely have some other untolerable side effects before the

seratonin syndrome would play itself out.

All SSRIs whether Paxil, Zoloft, Effexor or what exhibit clonus and

even fasciluations in less than 1 % of patients. I happened to be

one of those lucky ones. It's listed in the very, very fine print on

each package insert. Sure makes the inevidible depression with this

disease a bear to manage.

Hope you do NOT have the SSRI problem.
