I have very bad anxiety and panic attacks. I took Zoloft for fives years and did great and stop. Anxiety came back a year latter and started zoloft again and did great for 9 years. Again I went off zoloft and it came back a year later. Started Zoloft again and got a severe reaction. It appears to be Tardive Dyskensia like but my movement specialist says she doesn't think so but it is some reaction to Zoloft. I have been off Zoloft for two months since that incident happened and still have weird facial twitches at night before I sleep and when I wake up or relax. I also have a tremor in my hands and cramping in my feet and bad nerve pain all after taking Zoloft. The problem I am having is my anxiety attacks are out of control where I cant function. I have tried supplements and therapy but it doesn't work. Does anyone know of an antidepressant which causes the least likely hood of Tardive Dyskensia? It seems they all do but maybe there is one that is least likely too cause TD.

Maybe a benzo, Neurontin, or lyrica instead of a reuptake inhibitor?TCA drugs (I'm thinking of Tofranil-PM in particular) are powerful antidepressants. They also have anti-cholinergic effects, which might be helpful (? I'm just guessing here...). Just a thought...
Good luck!
