Anybody got joint pain from amitriptline or sertraline, Iv weaned off sertraline 50mg and now take 20 mg of amitriptline

Affects of taking this?

I'm awaiting neurologist and respiritory appt

Saw muscular skeletal who said fibromyalgia but must have refferral spots before his diagnosis.

Wondering if these are drug side effects or not. Thankyiu for your time.

Hi, joint pain can be a side effect of some medication.

Did you have the joint pain before you started the medication?

Well iv bein taking this a few weeks now,

And my lower right leg is tingly.

Joint aches but still and upper spine pain,

When I was taking sertraline "last month and one before" for 6 weeks my joint pain was I'd say slightly more widespread shoulder,ankles and slightly stronger.

But yes atm I'm getting joint pain and lower tight leg feels like it has craylys, tingly. Thankyou for your time, G

If the pain has only started since you started there medication then it might be a side effect

But if you were experiencing pain prior to the medication then it's harder to tell, unless pain has significant increased or changed in some way x
