Hello Emma,

can I ask you, did you have a tremor prior to taking sertraline?

I ask this because I have something called Benign Involuntary Tremor. Its 100% stress related, is passed thru the generations. My gran had it, my mum had it and so.....

If "the shakes" is isolated in one arm/leg/neck then it may be worthwhile checking with your doc, although its probably just an early side effect of the med.

I'll have to say that my tremor has got slightly worse, so it may be a side effect.

It seems to be more in the afternoon everning! I take my meds in the morning! The mornings seems to be fine but I will keep a eye on it!

Hi Emzy,

Perhapa you should contact the physician who writes the prescription and ask to discuss agitation and directions on reducing the dose a bit.

kind regards
