Sertraline side effects at night?

Anyone get burning sensation down arms especially right one with this drug? This happens at night and wakes me up - my pulse is also a little fast considering I am meant to be asleep! Just started these pills so perhaps it still needs to settle in? x

Hi Frotbanana, this is not a recognized symptom listed as a side effect of this medication. It may be something as simple as the medication making you sleep very deeply whilst lying on your arm, or a nerve that's been pinched, but I would be inclined to book a GP appointment to get it checked out, sooner rather than later.

Thanks for that, I am going to stop taking it now anyway coz it is not helpful for pain. x
