Default Zoloft and PN

I have had some previous problems with PN about 2 1/2 years ago. Long process to find what was going on with me (lots of other symptoms, too). Ended up I had low potassium and low tsh - both were addressed and the PN went away (I also had tinnitus which seemed to improve)

Fast forward to last month. I was started on 25 mg of Zoloft for a week then 50 mg. As soon as I started the 50 mg the PN came back as well as the tinnitus. After 2 weeks I stopped this med after discussing it with doctor. I went off slowly. Has anyone else had these symptoms with Zoloft and if so did they go away in time?

Thank you.

Default Zoloft

Hi, Zoloft was one of the antidepressants I took before I developed MMN. Cannot say if there is a connection, but, in general, I think the docs don't know how to treat depressions and just mess up with your system, giving you antidressants, in ways which are too dangerous and have unknown outcomes. In my case, I was low in vit. B12 but nobody ever tested for that , they gave me antidepressants.I think I was a guinea pig for the big pharma for a few years, and maybe I'm paying for that now. Stop taking it if it makes you worse instead of better and don't mess with your nervous system, its too dangerous.

Thanks for your reply. I have never been diagnosed with PN - it's just that I seem particularly susceptible to having that tingling, etc.. in hands and sometimes feet. I have had nerve conduction tests, brain scans, tested for Srogren's disease (sp?) and all were negative. I do have slightly elevated ANA titers (1:80) but the rheumatologist seemed to think I was okay after all testing was okay.

I have stopped the Zoloft and will NEVER go back on an antidepressant again. It isn't worth it for me.
