Anxiety thigh pain: I am on 12mg... - Anxiety and Depre...
Anxiety thigh pain
Were you on Sertraline when the burning sensation actually began? Important for me to know because I experienced burning or heat in my right leg when changing from 75 to 100 mg Sertraline daily, then burning became more intense in both legs when changing to 150 mg daily. After a year or so, I experience the heat or burning only in my right thigh, but the intensity is much reduced.
Doctors told me that Sertraline isn't what caused the burning.
I feel it did cause it and I also read that someone else experienced a similar situation with Sertraline.
Only occasionally these days do I experience any heat or burning in the right thigh. Just like many side effects of drugs, you live with them.
Best wishes....
PS- I checked to see if it might be neuropathy....and it was inconclusive, so I can't rule out some type of interaction between nerve damage in the legs and Sertraline.
