I have heard some mention of aches and pains, and I was wondering if this is a side affect of the SSRI medications. I have been taking Paxil, and was just recently switched to Zoloft (taking them simultaneously during the 'switch'). I wonder about this because I too suffer from terrible aches...I wake up in the morning and can barely move, my ankles and calves hurt so bad. My entire body aches all day long. My arms hurt so bad I can barely lift anything. I also suffer from extreme fatigue and sweating. I am always SO tired, and I am uncomfortable all day long. I have a very hard time getting up in the morning, and wish I could just stay in bed. I have 3 children, I'm a single parent, and I have a full time job that I have to go to everyday, so staying in bed is not an option. Their father lives 5 states away, so obviously, he is no help. Of course, he could live next door and still wouldn't be any help. Anyway, I need to know if these terrible aches and pains, the tiredness and sweating, and the feeling of being overwhelmed, are side affects of the medicine.
