Hi,
I have been on Sertraline since the end of February (after trying escitalopram) and have gradually worked up from 25mg - currently 150mg. I have been on 150mg for 5 weeks. I had a horrible start up with very increased anxiety but ever since 100mg I have had very shaky hands and little twitches and jerks. Like my leg will jerk or my hand will twitch. It's so crazy annoying as it doesn't give me a chance to forget about the anxiety and is like a permanent reminder.
I will say that my anxiety is under control and I can carry out a 'normal' life but these side effects are getting me down and frustrated more than anything.
So my question is, do I persevere knowing I have been on it for nearly 6 months and it will be a process coming off or do I come off and try something else?
I would appreciate some balanced opinions!
thanks,
Lisa
