Avatar f tn That is them and everyone is different. For example I suffer from depression and anxiety dissorder and if I smoke MJ then I get massive anxiety and my whole body goes into a tremmor. Depends of the person I guess.
1258608 tn?1269552597 Does anyone else suffer from major hand tremors? I am on Geodon, Zoloft, Klonopan, Propranolol, & Lithium. My tremors have gotten worse and would like to know if anyone was able to overcome them. It really bothers me and is very noticeable.
Avatar f tn I have been taking Zoloft and Wellbutrin for about 3 yrs and this year my hands have started having tremors. I'm 34 and my family and friends have started to notice. Some days are worse than others but sometimes I can not even hold my drink mug with one hand the hand will be shaking so bad I have to use the other one to help it. Even picking up a deck of cards can be a challenge if it is not a good day.
Avatar f tn I have a question. I have been on zoloft for about 3 weeks 25 mg and I have started to notice my right hand shacks...is this a common side effect??
1258608 tn?1269552597 I have a hard time driving because I get tremors in my legs and feet. The tremors have gotten worse over time. I could really use some support right now and any advice that you may have.
Avatar n tn I was prescribed it for panic attack disorder and I had symptoms of tremors and dry mouth. Tremors mostly. The symptoms that increased over time were the tremors, as I was unable to walk or talk without shaking my arms and hands in a constant motion. I no longer could even write a sentence. My boyfriend was constantly worried about me since my shaking got worse and worse. I quit and now I am nauseated ALL the time, which was never a side effect while I was on it.
Avatar m tn s and another told me it was an Essential Tremor and was unrelated to my surgery. I have recently stopped taking Zoloft hoping these tremors were drug induced and they seem to be subsiding but feel extermely emotional, am I in denial?
Avatar f tn I now have a funny bone pain all through my right arm and hand. Plus tremors in right hand. Will this go away or do i need to get off zoloft?
Avatar m tn In my case Seroquel did not cause any erectile dysfunction but Zoloft did as well as Wellbutrin. Good Luck and let us know how it goes.
273955 tn?1196448802 Hello. Your symptoms are too many to be explained by Parkinson's disease only. Parkinson’s disease can co-exist with MS. But there are rare cases of both the disease affecting a person simultaneously. The tremors could be one of the neurological symptoms of MS. The tremors of PD are called as "pill-rolling" tremors. They are about 4-6 Hz in frequency. You can try to count the frequency of tremors. The MRI of the brain in PD is mostly normal.
Avatar f tn After seeing a reduction in the effectiveness of Zoloft (100mg daily), my doctor has switched me to Effexor (75 mg daily). I switched 2 weeks ago and am feeling much better, but in the last few days I have been experiencing tremors or 'brain zaps', which thought were a symptom of Zoloft withdrawals. From what I have seen, this should be a fairly smooth transition, but is it possible that that these tremors are side effects from the withdrawal of Zoloft?
Avatar n tn I have been taking 100mg of zoloft and 300mg of wellbutrin for almost 2 years, i recently added another 150mg of wellbutrin so i take 450mg total. I have noticed that my hands have started shaking and im having mild tremors and im wondering if this is a normal side affect that I shouldn't worry about, or if I need to contact my doctor?
Avatar f tn I had NO side effects when I started Zoloft (and I started at a fairly high dose)...but DID experience the tremors and shakiness for the first week or so of starting Lexapro. I toughed it out...that was simply my choice of course...and it DID get better. People have to basically weigh the overall benefits of the medications with tolerating some side effects. Now, with that said...I would never suggest someone try to "stick it out" if they do not feel comfortable doing so...
Avatar f tn I started Zoloft years ago and loved it, went off it 8 months ago and started back up last month, only lasted 4 weeks as it gave me the jitters, maybe you went up in mg's to fast?
Avatar m tn m taking low dose of ativan which works but need to switch to something less addictive. Tried zoloft made me sick and desperate. Has anyone tried buspar and what did you think?
Avatar f tn Still have anxiety and breakthrough panic attacks. He has given me the choice of lexapro or Zoloft. Since Celexa and lexapro are so similar, I'm concerned that the lexapro won't work given that the Celexa stopped working. On the other hand, he has warned me that Zoloft is more activating, which is not good for anxiety and panic. Thoughts? Advice? Similar experiences?
1276940 tn?1564515084 What I am wanting to know is could my tremors be from the Elavil or Zoloft (I am on a high dose)? Even after being on them for this long? And if so why hasn't the Topamax helped slow them down? Or is this something I should get checked out? I should also mention that I was dx with Pars Planitis in Sept of last year. I am on no meds for it just being closely monitored. But I have been told several times that MS & Pars Planitis go hand in hand.
1081649 tn?1257335321 Seroquel and zoloft can cause tardive dyskinesia, I don't know about depakote, I will look into it, but I'd go to a neurologist and ask.
Avatar f tn The symptoms of multiple sclerosis are loss of balance, muscle spasms, numbness in any area, problems with walking and coordination, tremors in one or more arms and legs. Bowel and bladder symptoms include frequency of micturition, urine leakage, eye symptoms like double vision uncontrollable rapid eye movements, facial pain, painful muscle spasms, tingling, burning in arms or legs, depression, dizziness, hearing loss, fatigue etc. You have many of these symptoms.
Avatar f tn I've been on Effexor XR for 3 weeks. One week at 37.5 , 2 weeks at 75 mg. I did take 112.5 for 1 day but went back to 75. My doc told me to increase to 112.5 when I told him it wasn't helping my anxiety and was making me shaky. Not sure why an increase would help, but he's the doctor. The increase made it all worse. These tremors are too much. He seems to think they will go away with time but I don't want to wait too much longer.
1131131 tn?1275108488 Common side effect when starting are nausea and dizziness. High blood pressure, sweating, tremors, shaking are definitely a bad reactions and might also occur with a SNRI. You can try but i think this bad reaction can be avoided with Lyrica or Neurotin but who knows, you could have a bad reaction too but they mechanisms of action are totally different from the SNRIs and SSRIs. Please consider that I'm not a doctor nor a pharmacist and those issues must be discussed with you doctor.
Avatar f tn I had anxiety, not depression, and my doctor finally realized that the Zoloft was making my anxiety worse (caused me to feel shaky and actually have hand tremors.) I was switched to clonazepam at bedtime, which is a lot like valium, and works better for anxiety. Addictive, but I take only a small amount.
Avatar f tn can zoloft cause body tremors as a withdrawl sympton as well as weakness and blood pressure changes
Avatar f tn Been on zoloft for 10 years on and off. After I lost my mom suddenly 2 years ago I upped my dose to 100 mg. 2 months ago I had an drug reaction with an antibiotic I was prescribed. The ER doc told me to stop taking my zoloft. I did for 4 days (huge mistake). I started up again back on my 100 mg and of course had all the start up effects which have all gone except tightness uncomfortable feeling in my stomach especially in the mornings. I take my zoloft at night before bed.
Avatar n tn Went to the doctor in march for symptoms of anxiety, tremors, small weight loss, heart palp. Doctor perscribed zoloft and did a TSH test. TSH came back at 0.05. He said to retest in 3 months. went back in june TSH was 0.02. He then tested T3 and T4. He said they were normal. He said to come back in 4 weeks to have my only my TSH tested again. In the mean time I have not taken the zoloft, stiil having hyper symptoms. Can anyone guess why he is testing only my TSH again.
