Can zoloft cause discomfort and tightness in legs? also cannot sleep well, any ways to remedy these side effects?

Troubles: Although not common some people will get hypertonia of muscles and that could be causing your symptoms. Suggestions for relief, I would recommend some magnesium. Also, for sleep try some melatonin.
