Sertraline

DeeH Thanks I’ve put up with it but now I’m losing hand movements, and need more help it will get rather embarrassing but doctors say it’s meds but it’s more of the sensation in my legs and that region that’s the problem I’m thinking it’s something else 🤦♂️

Patw is it possible to reduce the dose of Sertraline. It’s a shame if your feeling well on them it may be halving the dose may reduce the problem. Good luck. X

If you changed to a similar SSRI Pat, given that you have a history of this side effect, you may be more susceptible to SSRI-related priapism, if that's what it is.

Sertraline, citalopram, escitalopram and fluoxetine are amongst the drugs identified as having a link to priapism. xx

I wanted to add something here but no meds involved. Is that possible too? I'm too embarrassed to explain. 😳

denise If it's MND related, it's fair game, there should be no cause for embarrassment. Start a thread for the topic. xx
