What Causes Numbness In The Arms After Increasing Zoloft Dosage?

Brief Answer:
Possible adverse effect of Zoloft.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for writing to us.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Paresthesia ( or numbness, or sensory changes ) is a possible adverse effect of Zoloft (Sertraline ) use that may occur at 2% of people who use it.
So, in my opinion, increased dose of Zoloft is the culprit.
The increase in dose of a prescription drug should be done by the treating Doctor, adverse effects when happen should be discussed with the Doctor too.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards.
