Since taking sertraline Ive been suffering with the mosst horrendous hand tremors and jelly legs. Its wearing me out and making my depression worse. Has anyone experienced tremors with sertraline? Any feedback would be greatly accepted.

Initial shaking, yes. Maybe they started you with too much, my doc said 100mg is "therapeutic dose" but that was too much to quickly get to (I've heard of people starting at 12.5 for anxiety, depression may need more. ) How long have you been on how much?
I thought ssri's are good for digging out of the hole of no energy to do anything depression. But wouldn't an energizer increase anxiety? No, it stopped my panic attacks after a few weeks. But yes, it did make me more shaky. Hand tremors stopped quickly but I still shake my foot more, as if more anxious, but I'm not. Glad to sleep better and no panic. I didn't have that bad depression but heard it's good for that.

Docotrs like to play this down as part of your nervous condition and anxiety. Do a search term on it and see what the literature says about it. It is NO fun when involuntarily muscle movements become obvious to everyone who sees you. In addition, it is almost unbearable to the person who is consntly shaking!
Good luck!

I didnt get the shakes but I did suffer from tiredness and it made my jaw and face ache. If I was at home I used to sleep in the afternoon which helped. I found it better if I took it in the morning. Hope the effects start to wear off soon. Good luck xx
