    I would say very possible, though depends upon how long you were on them for and dose etc.

    I was on them for 2 weeks and very ill for months after, one of the main symptoms I got just twitches and I couldn't work my limbs like how I wanted, a real weakness in my legs and arms, strange sensations, etc, I eventually after 3 months I got back to work and slightly better, but no where near recovered, to how I was before, a reaction of these can affect the nerves for sure, all IMHO.
