I had been taking 50 mgs of Zoloft and my doctor raised my dosage to 100 mgs, she did this to take me off xanax, which I had been on for 12-15 years, I was taking 2mg at bedtime to calm me down so I can sleep. I am now having tremors and involuntary muscle movements, always occuring through the night, and cant sleep now until the wee ours of the morning,
Hi there, thanks for asking. Tremors, involuntary muscle movements and sleep problems are the common side effects of serotonergic reuptake inhibitors which Zoloft, paroxetine, fluoxetine, etc. are belonged to it. Most of the time, the side effects you mentioned are transient and decrease after several weeks. If sleep problem persists, the doctor can change this medication to a medication from the class of tetra cyclic antidepressants if your situation allows. I wish you a good health.
