In reply to Possible side effect?: Excessive blinking, posted by Deneb on January 9, 2007, at 16:30:17
Hey ya Deneb....can you sit in a dark room and see if you are still blinking rapidly? If you cannot control it I would think this type of dystonia can be from the meds and a call to the doc just for a tweak of a med adjustment would do the trick. Good luck.
> This is really strange. For the last couple of days I've noticed that I blink excessively. I try to control myself, but I can't. I notice the blinking when I'm out. I'm not blinking excessively now, so I wonder if it has to do with bright light.

> I found out that excessive blinking is called blepharospasm. I'm wondering if it could be a side effect of the meds I'm on. I'm on 40 mg Celexa, 40 mg Prozac and 0.75 mg Risperdal. I just started the Prozac not too long ago. Could it be the Prozac? Maybe it's the combo?
