Setraline feelings. Numbness and heaviness

Posted , 4 users are following.

I've been in setraline for a week at 50mg and today, today is the worst. I woke up and my body feels heavy, like it's numb but not to the touch. It's like I'm almost walking in slow motion . Is this normal? slightly panicked as I have really bad health anxiety too... It's like my muscles aren't there. Don't m of how to describe this further

    Hang in there you will feel absolutly horrible for a while and then slowly feel better. I have been on now for 7 months and I feel better then I ever have. I had horrible health anxiety also. The meds take a while to really work and the side effects in the begining are horrible.

      I just feel so shaky, headaches, lik3 my face is gonna fall off. I feel like I'm numb and my body is numb and my head is trying to catch up to my body moments. I feel lik3 my arm is going to drop off sometimes where it just feels dead.

      I'm glad they're working for you. Thanks for the reply, it is always appreciated:)

      My body felt numb and cold to touch my arms and legs fell asleep all the time, I felt a disconnect. You are going to feel better soon.
