Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Imipramine is a drug from another class and have different mode of action and uses compared to fluvoxamine and Sertraline. Don't take drugs until prescribed by practitioner as the side effect, withdrawal symptoms are bothersome if not chosen according to your illness profile.

For limping by the symptoms it looks that your ligament is injured. You need to consult a orthopedic surgeon for it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
