aperfectingangel Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I am on zoloft 50mg and I was wondering if anyone else has a picking problem. I pick on my cuticles and around my fingers. The only time I do this is when I am on this medication. When I am off of it I don't pick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokenmind Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 im on the same meds as you & no i dont do this. although what you do is classed as psychomotor agitation. see my thread on it i posted a few days ago. my pdoc said that zoloft (sertraline) can increase anxiety though so maybe this is a result of this.

NickyP Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 sertraline is known to increase anxiety levels, hence the finger picking :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
