Anybody else experience crazy leg spasms and calf cramps while on Setriline? 

I started 25mg once a day about 6 weeks ago. My doc said it helps with nerve pain, but lately, my legs have been killing me. 

 
Are you taking anything else?

Are you diabetic?

Blood pressure high?

If not, that's an odd side-effect and kinda worrisome.  It's one of the few SSRI's that are sort of agreeable with everyone.  Can you try taking half your dose for 4 days and see if it goes away?

I had muscle jerks when i was on lexapro. It is an ssri like zoloft. When i would sit still calf or shoulder would jerk. Almost like what happens when u are about to fall asleep and are jerked awake. 

My doc had no idea why  

I know this post is old but i thought you might b still be around to say what ended up happening. Did you ever get any explanation?

 
I take just 50mg of Setriline a day and it causes me to have awful RLS, im constanstly either jerking my leg or hands or arms. When i lay down i get a lot of leg spasm. Better than my previous depressive thoughts though.

Yesterday my wife was prescribed Requip it's generic name is Ropinirole. She took the first one last night when her legs started driving her crazy and forgot she'd taken it but realized her legs had completely stopped the jerking. She doesn't take an SSRI though but the med worked.

  1. The Doctor RC @ The Doctor RC: I need a LEGIT vetted vendor for farmapram that isn’t charging ridiculous prices if anyone can help dm me
  2. F @ fentakneel: I just wanted to say this place is wonderful. ❤️ Thanks to everyone who has worked hard to make it what it is.
  3. The Doctor RC @ The Doctor RC: Yeah donated snd once I got emerald I was able to chat.
  4. C @ Clash283: I donated and just had access.
  5. xenxra @ xenxra: yeah but isn't the password restricted to sponsors anyway? why not just make that section private like the other ones? or is "brand new members" inclusive of sponsored accounts that are newly registered?
  6. Gracie5 @ Gracie5: The password isn’t given automatically, at least by me. I don’t give it to brand new members.
  7. xenxra @ xenxra: dm admin for password. i still don't really understand the purpose of the password section if it's just given out freely to anyone who is a sponsor.
  8. N @ Nebulon Kitty: I've recently donated to become an opal member, and posted in the thread after the donation. How do I go about actually getting the password to the members area and my Opal status.

  16. Steviejay88 @ Steviejay88: @otbotf I believe you need to get it from an admin
  17. O @ otbotf: how do i find the password to the locked pages?
  18. H @ hotdog45: @Mokachin0 thank you. Truly those words are not enough, but it's all I have at the moment. You are an amazing person.
  19. M @ Mokachin0: Search vet bills if your a member who needs help with vet care or basic staples for your pet, admins will verify I’m extending a real offer
  20. xenxra @ xenxra: @Steviejay88 if there's one major takeaway i've gained from all the indictments against onion farmers it's that you should never rely on server-side encryption for these kinds of things. please refer to hansa as a case example.
