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.

  11. D @ drdrizzy13: The transfer portal has turned big conferences especially the SEC more like trading players. And they need to fix the NIL deals. Not really fair for one player to get 7 mil and his teammate getting 1k. It's corrupted college football..
  12. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: @Layne_Cobain Lets go boyyyyyy!
  13. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Happy Football Sunday! Leggo Ravens baby.
  14. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Bulldogs take the cake - Kiffin deserves to play in a place called Death Valley - Man how I used to love Saturdays in the fall. But College Football is dead. My prediction? Transfer portal and NIL with million dollar “salaries” mean NCAA Football becomes the defacto NFL D league except they’re all free agents. To compete, Superconfrences are going to continue to consolidate, privatize or go corporate, and the NCAA can go back to worrying about title IXX and Women’s volleyball and such.
  15. D @ drdrizzy13: I think they'll probably win it all.
  16. D @ drdrizzy13: Georgia way too dominate
  17. M @ meepmoopmeep: i think most of us expected it but not how badly it went down

  20. D @ drdrizzy13: SEC championship game next. This game is kind of boring.
