hi i was on 25mg for 6 weeks then 50mg for the past 6 weeks although they help the depression i am shaking my eyes and face twitch like mad and i am hunched causing sore shoulders back of neck and always frowling, sick of it, people are stareing at me i feel like something simple , wasnt like this before taking sertraline, i have just went back down to 25mg then i will stop but hate that the depression will be really bad again, can anyone shine a light on this situation i would be grateful.

I agree with RObert, in that this Sertraline may not be the best for you. And get in with your doctor to report your symptoms and ask to try a different med.
In the meantime, it would be wise to not stop taking Sertraline altogether suddenly, because that can be dangerous for you.
Take care,

No anti-depressant will "kill" depression,it's a medication to help with the symptoms while you get your life back on track through will power & determination. The medication is basically a crutch.

i started on the same dose as you..
But had so many side effects. .. And more prolonged anxiety., plus most awful nightmares.. I decided. Since I could not get an appointment with the GP
to discuss the problem .. For 3 weeks..
I have weaned myself of it.. Going down to 25 mg . For a week.. And halving that again for a few days.. I am no longer taking Setraline ..
I do however take diazepam .. Which I find keeps my anxiety levels .. Much better..
get you're GP advice.. If poss.. I only did this because I didn't want to continue.,
with the problems I was experiencing..any longer.. As I am a carer for my husband.. And have to be able to cope.. Without fuzzy head..
Good luck to you..
