tremors are normal with cit.now by changing meds you are going to get withdrawals from cit .and start ups from mirt.you are going to feel alot worse .best regards.ps.your tremors will subside .i had tremors in my hands n leg.

i have significant tremors, little sleep, highly agitated, blurry vision and im 9 weeks in now, i dont feel that a better option is taking benzos as well if i was going to rely on them i never would have tried the cirt, you dont know mirt wont help and i find your comment a little rude and unsupportive lois. i have no choice but to go on my doctors advice if i could have fixed this myself i would have already

it has nothing with been rude or been unsupportive .stopping one med cold turkey just because your doctos saysand starting a new med without weaning is insane.my horrible doctors had me just like you from one med to the other with no relief .we are here to tell our truth from experience.for crying out loud.i suffered severely from meds and never did i question or let alone tell a person posting they where rude or unsupportive.

tania what did you go on cit for? are you swapping to mirt or planning on taking it with cit? ive been on mirt 3 times, at doses below 30mg it helps with sleep, it helped my depression lots, the only downside is the weight gain x

I was on 50mg sertraline and my tremors were horrible but when i change to 10mg flouxetine, in few weeks it subsided. I think the higher the dose the more intense tremors.
Has anyone experience fullness of ear as side effect? It has been 4-6 weeks since i started flouxetine but it doesn't go away...
