Noloft Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Just wondering if anyone has experienced this. It’s been going on for me for months now and I got so used to it I didn’t even think it could be withdrawal related. More often than not I find it uncomfortable to stand as I can feel the pressure of my body on my feet, but it’s an uncomfortable feeling. I don’t remember experiencing this before coming off drugs. It isn’t burning but it’s more like a soreness like I have been standing for hours. Anyone else? 2001-2017-worked my way up from 25mg of zoloft and 2mg of Concerta to 200mg of zoloft and 36mg of Concerta February 2017-Stopped Concerta cold turkey September 2017-Added 2mg of Abilify November 2017-came off Abilify December 2017-began taper of zoloft 50mg a week while tapering on to Viibryd January 2018-back on zoloft 200mg February 2018--tapered off zoloft over a month onto 40mg of prozac April 2018-CT prozac due to suspected "serotonin syndrome" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Altostrata Posted March 1, 2019 Administrator Share Posted March 1, 2019 This doesn't sound like a withdrawal syndrome. You may want to get evaluated by a podiatrist.

It sounds exactly the same. it is called neuropathy which is pain that they have no explanation for. Mine went away. many years ago given sinequan for depression bad reaction so tiny dose of meleril to balance... quit after a year or so c/t years pass no drugs reg doc had me try all of the a/d bc of upset due to divorce. couldn't handle any. took klonopin to sleep .5 mg 2003 taper klonopin hooked on tramadol accidentally. 2006-2008 husband had migraines and took them like candy. so i became dependent too. c/t 2008 diagnosis of porphyria after years of symptoms, then toxic event made me really ill. gabapentin 300mg every 3 hours , 6x day. propranolol 180 mg 6x / day since 2012 clonazepam prescribed as 1 mg / day but beginning to take more to deal with withdrawals and sleeplessness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cressida Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I had this for quite a long time. Can’t remember how long . It was particularly bad when I got up in the morning . Couldn’t walk about the house bare foot or in socks. Had to wear those padded Go Walk shoes . I thought maybe i was getting arthritis but it just went in the end .

Jera Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Yep, I had this for 4-6 weeks when I did my last big taper. Seems to have settled but now everything hurts so it’s hard to tell. Sydney, Australia. Lexapro 5mg since August 2014 for Lyme disease - wasn’t depressed. klonopin/ rivitrol since Nov 2013 for brain pain from Lyme disease Attempted lexapro slow taper from July 2018 - dropped to 2.5mg, increased days in between doses. Jan 2019 went down to 1.25mg daily. Withdrawal symptoms started 4-6 weeks later; extreme anxiety, cognitive issues with focus, confusion, memory, DR/DP, headaches, exhaustion, sore watery eyes, body pain, muscle spasm, relentless diarrhoea, so so tired, neck and head pain, zaps, can barely stand up. Have re- instated lexapro to original 5mg dose on Dr’s advice, 1 week. Symptoms have not stopped yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Onmyway Posted May 4, 2023 Moderator Share Posted May 4, 2023 I am having this for the third time in the last three years. The first time I thought it was my shoes (it went for a few weeks/month), the second time it was accompanied by a lot of fatigue and went for over a month (July-August last year)- I was miserable, unable to do anything as a 5 min walk would make me feel as if I had been standing on my feet for hours. It has come back with a vengeance this Monday. I did walk a bit on Monday but a similar amount of walk would not have done much before and despite being in bed since then even stepping on my feet for a few minutes causes soreness and tingling. My feet feel odd while lying down too though and I get twitches in my calves. This has been accompanied by chills, I am cold even at 21 C/under the covers and with an electrical pillow. Must be a new wave. Very disappointing returning of something that had gone away but hopefully will go away this time as well. Have a call with my doctor on Tuesday. Let's see what they suggest. "Nothing so small as a moment is insurmountable, and moments are all that we have. You have survived every trial and tribulation that life has thrown at you up until this very instant. When future troubles come—and they will come—a version of you will be born into that moment that can conquer them, too." - Kevin Koenig I am not a doctor and this should not be considered medical advice.
