Holy cow! If the correlation is true, it is certainly disturbing.

I was placed on an SSRI ten years ago and developed chronic insomnia and uncontrollable muscle twitching that are with me to this day. Guess what I was given to make me sleep while I was on the SSRI? A tricyclic! By the time I got completely off both meds in 2000, I was flopping around like a marionette without strings.

My neuropathy started in 1998. It had never occurred to me that there might be a connection between that and the meds, although I have certainly had enough ill effects from the meds to consider that a possibility.

If anyone has any more info on this subject, please post it.
