Coming off sertralin
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi, any advise would be grateful........
I have been on 200mg of sertralin per day for the last 2 yrs. I started having funny do's, the elec shock feelings, dizziness, didn't feel me and felt as though I was cracking up,which the doc tells me it's the sertraline and menopause symptoms, so I have come off the sertraline fully over the last 6 weeks. Well.....the elec shock feelings are 100 times worse, very itchy skin all over body, easily teared at sensitive issues and now I think I have got arthiritus in my elbows, wrists, shoulders and neck, due to constant ache in these areas. I had been feeling the ache in my right elbow say for the last 6 months but it seems to of spread to the other areas I have just mentioned. Does anyone know if this is due to coming off the tablets ? My doc has told me the elec shock feelings can carry on for a couple of month once off the tablets completely. Not really discussed the other issues as the elec shocks were the most intense symptom, now I feel it's them and this arthiritus feeling. I plan on going back to work on Friday, which will be a total of 6 week off but this arthiritus feeling is really getting to me.........help !!!!!

Ultimately though, a trip to your doctor is the best thing.
