Has anyone experienced motor changes attributed to antidepressants?

I am experiencing increased dystonia in my feet as I increase my dosage of Zoloft, currently at 100mg/day working up to 200. I also take remeron 30 mg/day. I don't know if it is related or just the degradation process... needless to say it doesn't lead to less anxiety/depression.

In my experience, it you take CoQ10 diligently over a period of time, it improves both your energy and your depression without any motor changes or other side effects.. It is not a prescription drug, so it does not work with immediate effect, nor does it have the bad side effects of prescription drugs. In fact CoQ10 has been researched and proven to be good for Parkinson's disease.

I guess the answer to your question is no. I did wonder when you wrote whether this was a drug interaction given that you are increasing Zoloft and also take Remeron. I wonder what you have discovered over time?

I seem to be developing more dystonia in my feet when the dopamine drops off. I am waiting to see my neuro to address this issue.
