Well, you can't diagnose a condition by looking at an adverse reaction to a drug, but it does have some anecdotal weight.

Some of the sodium channel congenital myasthenic syndromes respond to Fluoxetine. So if you have MG or a CMS where not enough acetylcholine reaches the muscles, then you might not do well on that drug.

Did you know that Paxil is extraordinarily difficult to withdraw from and class actions lawsuits are in place in the US due to that fact? It can cause quite horrific CNS symptoms when trying to withdraw from it!

I wish you had a better route to care other than this.
