I haven been on Remeron, Prozac, Clonazepam, Cymbalta and other depression medicine. I found that all of them cause neuropathy, brain zaps, headaches, diarrhea and not hungry but I force myself to eat and am now overweight. I was, also, have dizzy spells, vertigo when I lay down, anxiety problems and depression. My whole body hurts. I was going to a re-hab center to get off the Clonazepam because 2 mgs per day was causing small seizures daily. The major problem I have is my psychiatrist, pcp and neurologist don’t believe me when I tell them things that are happening while using these medicines. All of them tell me it cannot be happening because that’s not an issue in there research or books of side effects. I, just, want to stay home now because people have made remarks about my head shaking, not being able to walk correctly and always being scared something else is going to happen. I even took a nerve testy for neuropathy but again the neurologist said I passed the nerve conducting test. I don’t have neuropathy. I do have neuropathy and can’t sleep anymore because of the pain in my body the pins and needles hurt like fire under my skin from the top of my bottom, stomach, both legs all the way to my toes. . The numbness is hard because anything that touches my body hurts badly even a/c or heat hurts. I blame the doctors for not listening to me and tell it has to be anxiety and depression. So sad I thought they would help me. I
even asked my psychiatrist and pcp to get me off the Lexapro and they tell me no. The last time I spoke with my psychiatrist and pcp both said I have anxiety and depression and my Lexaprox was upped again and if the Lexapro can be upped to 40mgs and 2 10 of Burspone every day. I just want off all medicines. I have sezures and after 20 years on Keppra has cause neuropathy I hope this help you and anyone who read this.
