Default Bad Effects of SSRIs - Personal Experience

I got tardive dystonia from taking Zoloft....which can manifest itself in many ways. In my case, I got bruxism....grinding of the teeth during the day. I went to many doctors, a neuro-psychiatrist, chiropractor, had my deviated septum repaired, and to many dentists only to find the new disclaimer is on the manufacturer's new warnings.

I never had it before the age of 48.

So, if you are considering taking ssri's, know you may also get tardive dystonia which can manifest itself in different ways.

I have spent thousands of dollars of my insurance company's money only till I found out it was a new warning.

I recommend yoga and therapy, but watch out for the drugs. They only made things worse for me. I had no clue. The doctor talked me into taking them, saying "If you were a diabetic, you would take insulin, wouldn't you?"

That seems to be what the drug salesmen tell the doctors to say to patients.

I was talked into taking drugs.....I tried them all.

Nothing worked for me personally.

And from my research, they only work on 10% of the population and should only be taken for approximately a 3 month period along with therapy.

Yet, they are handed out like candy to anyone who goes to a doctor.

Just beware.
