Burning Under Skin In Rib Areas With Cold Chills

I have been on a baby dose - 12.50 mgs. of sertraline for over a year with a low dose of escitalapram and clonazapam. I recently had my sertraline increased to 25 mgs. as a means of helping me to get off of the clonazopram and Escitalapram. That was over two weeks ago; and now for the past week I have had this terrible sore and burning feeling under my skin in the front and back of my ribs. I have been to the doctors two times saying it is an inflammation of a nerve and to take 2 aleve 2 times a day. I don't seem to be improving and am beginning to wonder if it is the sertraline. Any ideas?

Hello, Hope! How are you?

Yes, I've had similar symptoms, when I first started taking Prozac for perimenopause symptoms. However, the good news is that it all cleared up around 4 weeks in, or so. Most side effects usually do, once your body gets used to the new dosage.

You may also experience dizziness, nausea, headache, mood swings and weight changes.

If it doesn't improve in a couple more weeks, you should speak to your doctor, again.

How are you feeling, now?
