Side Effects of Elavil
Question
A 24-year-old female with CdLS was on Elavil but is being switched to Prozac (10 mg to be increased to 20 mg) for self-injurious behavior. Her mother is noticing side effects that, as she describes, resemble "Jacksonian" seizures with tremors and shaking of legs, but not losing consciousness. Can this be a side effect of the Prozac or the withdrawal from Elavil?
Réponse de nos experts
It is most likely Elavil withdrawal and not a seizure.
