I'm not sure Zoloft causes nerve pain. The pain caused by antidepressants is usually muscular, and is often caused because it interferes with the absorption of magnesium. You should know that these side effects might have gone away with time, or they might not. Only using them for 4-6 weeks, the time it takes to know if they work or not, will tell, but side effects start right away. You might want to make a new post to get more help, as this post is very old.
t know why he would be experiencing pain, but maybe he has a fungus or infection. He was given zoloft for premature ejaculation and doxycycline for any possible infections and was told to put diaper cream on his glans. I'm not sure this is the right course of action, wouldn't I have an infection if he did? I've had no abnormal paps since this has occured.
The only difference between now and before his pain is that he led a much more physically active lifestyle.
I developed sever depression and anxiety after I got hurt and had to have several surgeries and now live with chronic pain. For my nerve pain I took Valium for about 18 months. I would also use the Valium to help with my anxiety because I had it so why not. My pain management dr started me on Zoloft and it helped with my depression and anxiety.
After about 8 months I started taking lyrica for my nerve pain so I no longer needed to have Valium.
3 years is a really long time to suffer anything! My husband also will say he has chest pain. As he has heart disease in his family, he's also had about a gazillion tests. For him, anxiety. That is the final diagnosis. He takes Zoloft and it helps. He still will tell me has occasional chest pain but he is checked annually with nothing showing up. He does have high cholesterol which is completely controlled with medication.
Have you ever looked into anxiety?
The primary doctor said i have virual virus do to allergies, so i saw my doctor who precribed me the Zoloft he said not take zoloft for two weeks until i get better from this virual virus then try the zoloft again if you have reaction to it stop the zoloft then wait a week and try different medicine called citalpram 20mm. i am so sacred to taking any medicine because i am so sentitive to medicine anyway.
I've had this for 3 months now everytime I swallow I get this long nerve twitch its under my left chin I haven't told a dr I'm on zoloft for about 3 months 100 could this be amxiety plz help
Pain under chin with spasm more noticeable when swallowing I'm taking Zoloft 100 and klonopin 0.
have you ever taken a nerve pill, or tryed a different med besides zoloft. years ago i tryed zoloft and it just did not work for me, i pretty sure i have tryed everything. cymbolta and klonipin did the trick. but am 29 years old and my anxiety started when i was 19 and i was a major hypochondriac myself everyday i thought i was going to die. it was terrible, but like i said the meds im on now im able to work, be social, and not self medicate with other things.
This is a common phenomenon for people getting off Zoloft. (And even people who miss a dose of Zoloft.) I've never found a doctor who knows the cause of this, but every one that I've asked believes that it is harmless. Especially because literally hundreds of people experience it (which you will see when you do that Google search and find them on message boards like this), and it almost always goes away once the Zoloft has worked its way out of your system.
Again, just my opinion. Zoloft is used not only for depression but anxiety too. Many people do very well on it. It can take awhile to build up in your system so don't get upset if you do not see results immediately. You may have some nausea and a little dizziness the first few days. Don't worry if you do because this is common with most of these meds. Then again, you may not have any start up side effects.
We're here to listen and help you anyway we can.
Good morning Kristen,
I don't feel that I have a whole lot of info to share with you but I wanted to post anyway just in case you see something in my post that helps you. I'll start by telling you that I have not taken Zoloft or Ativan. If your Doctor knew you were taking the Ativan, she should know that Zoloft is listed as a possible interaction on the Ativan prescribing label. I may be on the market for a new Doc if something like this had happened to me.
Thanks for reply. Went last week to doctor. I was on Zoloft for 2 weeks and had some urinary side effects (excessive urinating).
He checked for UTI and it was negative. Checked my prostate and it was normal size. Did blood work to check for PSA, to cover all bases. Will find out about that today or tomorrow.
I have suffered from Anxiety for a very very long time and never took medication until recently.
