Hi,
I have been taking Seroquel XR 100mg in addition to Zoloft 50mg for several months now (for MDD and GAD, and while the medication seems to have a positive effect on my mood, it seems to wreak havoc on my body. For the few weeks, I had terrible muscle soreness (stiffness) and a general bad feeling. That went away with time, but I have gained weight (about 15 lbs.. seems to have plateaued), I have joint pain in my hands, muscle stiffness, and it has exacerbated existing muscle tics/twitches that I have (rubbing fingers and toes together repeatedly..)
Soo.. It does not look like this is good for me. I have been on quite a number of medications, and trying to get that "cocktail" just right. Is there anything that some might suggest? I am typically very sensitive to medications, and experience side effects. The zoloft 50mg low dose is the highest I can go without getting bad anxiety.
Thanks
