I've lowered zoloft (sertraline) dose from 200mg to 150mg for around 2 weeks. i have muscle aches and starting to get head spasms ! is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lowering Zoloft (sertraline) dose: Muscle aches and 'head spasms' or shock-like sensations may be seen in Zoloft (sertraline) withdrawal. Suggest you discuss with prescribing doc and taper dose more slowly - maybe increase dose a little until you feel better. Discontinuing Zoloft (sertraline) or similar med need not result in any physical discomfort. Changing med dose should be individualized and carefully monitored by prescribing doctor. Hope this helps.
