    Sertraline - withdrawal symptoms without withdrawing ??? Help please

    Hello all, I am a male 53 year old, and I have been on Sertraline 100m for 18 months after diagnosis of Borderline PD, usual side effects going up, but over last month or so I have had increasing PINS AND NEEDLES, numbness in hands and lower arms, feet, legs and face, achy joints, painful feet and headaches, usually all when I am asleep and wake up with it, not sleeping awkwardly and seems to be getting worse and lasting many hours throughout the day, and is waking me up in the night several times. I have read many of these occur when you withdraw from Sertraline - but I am not (although wish I could). Is this the medication, have I become tolerant of the dose ?, I have been to GP as worried MS or something else. Also a history of TLE as a teen and wonder if the diagnosis is in fact epileptic activity such as complex seizures. Being referred to a neurologist - long wait...…, just worried and wanted to know if others have had similar issues please.

    That bit is definately the Sertraline.
    I swapped over to Lexapro because of it
