antidepressants and muscle weakness

[Guest guest]

Has anyone experienced any muscle weakness from antidepressants?

[Guest guest]

No! but I get even more depressed on them and go on crying jags for days! It

is very bad and I get crabby too.I don't think I have been on then long enough

to see if they would effect my muscles.

I have never noticed that it affected my muscles, but it does affect my

eyesight, especially night vision.

I am taking antidepressants and I have not experienced any muscle weaknesses. 

Depression alone can cause muscle weakness though, but I have experienced a

slight tremor when I mix soda that has caffiene with my medicines.  I noticed

this especially because I take Abilify there is some sort of reaction with it.

Thank you Curtis,

Depression does make me feel weak. I love my antidepressants but when I read

weakness can be a side effect I got worried.

[Guest guest]

Thank you Jackie, My vision is also effected more so when I have missed a dose.

I am happy to hear you do not experience weakness as a side effect.

Hi Geri,

From my experience if I start crying on antidepressants I have been given the

wrong dose or wrong antidepressant.

,

I'm was ok at first...like everything else once it is in my system more I end

having trouble.I needed something for depression/stress so bad. Some meds work

for awhile then it like I get toxic. My Doc didn't believe me then, he got to

see it for himself.

Gave me some H.B pills and the more he told me to take the higher my B.P. went.I

don't now why I have so much trouble with everything ,I breakeout from different

fibers,soaps,and plastics too,latex is a big one for me. My doc don't know what

to do with me and I don't either!

Thanks

Geri
