Has any ever heard of a case in which sudden withdrawl from nafazadone (Serzone) has caused EPS?

Just my opinion, but I believe any psychoactive med can cause EPS or mimic EPS symtoms during abrupt withdrawal or even gradual withdrawal. I mean, all these drugs I think are more complicated at a molecular level than we know, and each person's genetic variables could be factors as well. Generally EPS is thought to be a dopamine related thing, but all of the neurotransmitters are so intricately intertwined that anything could happen.

Have not heard a case of EPS from sudden serzone withdrawal though. Like my pdoc told me, anything is possible.
