A member asked:
I am having fasciculations and tremor from zoloft (sertraline) after being on 50mg for over 10 years. i am weaning off. will this be permanent? i am weaning slowly

Unusual: If your fasciculations and tremor are deemed due to Zoloft (sertraline), (sertraline) then this would be very unusual. It would be likely that it would resolve when you have stopped the Zoloft (sertraline). You and your prescriber can decide if you need a replacement.
