    I also had this for around 3 months on sertraline and then it just went I've been on sertraline for 12 months in total, it was my hands fingers feet which were the worst then it sometimes moved around I found it very weird and could only put it down to the sertraline I found if I washed my hands it helped

      Hi Kerry

      32 days on 50mg and still very anxious especially on a morning as I type this . Do you think I should give it more time on 50mg or go back to the docs and get the dose upped.
