Suggest Ways To Taper Off Of Zoloft

default
Posted on Thu, 16 Nov 2017
Question: My Dr. recently changed me to a new Antidepressant. From Zoloft 150mg to Trintellix 10mg with a taper off my Zoloft. I woke up this morning with pain to my thigh muscles. Is this a side effect?

Brief Answer:
NO, it is not a side effect at this time!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

THis alone is not a side effect. It is also too early to tell about this. I will suggest you monitor closely to see if this pain persists or it soon gives way. Should it persist, we will need to investigate further.

Rest, tylenol and increased fluid intake should help for now.

I wish you well.
