15mg / forearm, hand pain and tingling finger

Treatment and medication
1

Hello,

Male 34 years. I have been on Mirta for about 3 weeks. It seems everyday I get worse pain in my forearms and hands. Even writing this post is causing me quite terrible pain in my right arm. My everyday work in the home office gives me huge struggle, everyday it gets worse somehow. I tested the nerves in my arm, speed etc and a mrt from my neck was made. Everything was fine. Just today it appeared to me to that Mirta could be responsible for this. This drug is helping me really good in regards to my anxiety and sleep but this side effect seems to be unbearable. Anyone else made such an experience? the pain is basically chronic in my right forearm and intermittent pain in my palm and tingling fingers. Same started to happen for my left arm, but i am not doing anything with this this arm. Worst is bending my arm, lifting the arm hurts also. every daily activity is basically impossible. I was one time running last week and my arms hurt so much after. The doctor meant it looks like tennis elbow and gave me anti inflammatory painkillers. but it does not help. I think i need get off of this drug asap, but i am terrified. somebody else made a similar experience and found a solution? any suggestions for a good antidepressants to switch to for anxiety primarly. I want talk to my GP for this. I am on this drug only for 3 weeks. I am about to lose my mind. I depend on this drug but the physical pain gets unbearable. This is my first antidepressant i ever took I treated my anxiety for a long time with baclofan, but it stopped working after years

Thank you so much.

Hi Thomas
Whilst 3 weeks is a short period and the mirt could have already settle in your system,if i were you i would stop the medicine.And whilst you may have w/s if you stop,continuing with the med would be prolonging your suffering and delaying the inevatable. I dont mean to be negative or scare you,just an my advice.It might very well be that because u took it for only 3 weeks,the w/s may not be very severe or could diminish quickly.You never know.But what i know is this medication is poisonous and causes all sorts of health complications.Good luck and be blessed!

Thanks. you know I had pain sometimes in my arm here and there when I worked too long in the same position. But I had these symptoms for years and it was never a lot of pain or a struggle. little stretching here and there and all good. I believe Mirt has some ingredient that is pro-inflammatory. is that possible?

You know another good drug which works good for anxiety (anti depressants) with less side effects?

Hi Thomas
Im not sure of pro-inflammatory ingridients.

I used to use Adco Alzama for anxiety.Its good but its not an AD more like sleeping pill.I dont know if its available in your country,im in South Africa.

I am right there with you. Just posted about muscle pain and issues. My hope is that this drug is the culprit, but my fear is how do I get off at without going through absolute hell.
