Zoloft (sertraline) tingles?: You mention that you suffer from anxiety as well as depression. While some patients report subjective tingling in the hands, which is benign, at the outset of tx with Zoloft, (sertraline) and others may report tingling if they are trying to wean off Zoloft, (sertraline) (which is also benign, but I would discuss your concerns with your prescribing doctor, of course), a more common cause of tingling in the hands is anxiety.

MEDICATION: Best to discuss medication with your Psychiatrist & PCP. If uncomfortable with your Dr. consult another for a second opinion. Have a physical exam by a Dr. to determine if you have a physical illness. Fears and anxiety could be heightened due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Stay safe & hopeful to elevate your immune system
