i have been on various SSRI antidepressants for 15 years. I was on Sertraline aka Zoloft 150mgs for 4yrs..
I started titrating down to come on them on 25th May this year. I am with my doctor and doing this correctly..and tapering down slowly.
However I am crippled with the PHYSICAL side effects.. the body muscle aches are unreal!.. i can hardly walk as my legs are so sore and aching 24/7... I have no energy, flu aches, lethargic.. unable to function as a human being. I am only 36.
Im about 2 and a half months into this withdraw process and im down to 50mgs..but the withdrawl is killing me.. I wondered if anyone else had these physical aches..
Mentally I feel AMAZING!!! ironiclly!... but these phycial aches are putting my life on hold..
