Tics may be facial like fly-catcher-tongue-darting or chewing-the-cud jawing or involve the whole body like involuntary pelvic thrusting. These tics are disfiguring, untreatable, and permanent in up to 50% of cases. " (p. 11 Prozac Backlash, ph Glenmullen) The book deals with most all antidepressants or SSRIs. Physicians' Desk Reference lists " extra pyramidal syndrome " as neurological side effect of SSRIs, a technical term for four closely related neurological side effects, including tics. Also listed as side effects in literature enclosed with drug. Abnormal movement of mouth, jaw, and tongue are most common form of tics. There's lots more in Dr. Glenmullen's book as well as in his The Antidepressant Solution and Dr. Breggin's Your Drug May Be Your Problem. ** has listed specific extra-pyramidal symptoms. These do fall under the heading of sensory disturbance, but they are only a few of the symptoms that can fall under the broad term " sensory disturbance " . Basically, any nervous system disturbance that affects the senses is is a sensory disturbance. -- > in light of taking antidepressants?
