both hand and fingers recently had face tics and taken off zolof and 1 mg klonapan now on 1 mg of klonapan.. could it be anxiety?
Brief Answer:
This could be withdrawal symptoms!
Detailed Answer:
Hi, with the information you have provided concerning your medications, this could represent withdrawal symptoms of the medication zoloft. Anxiet is unlikely to provoke symptoms like these.
I will suggest that you monitor these symptoms. Should they get worse or persist beyond a week, talk to your doctor for management.
I hope this helps. Let me know what your take is on this.
