Hi

welcome to HM.

I understand your concern.

Majority sleep problem and burning sensation can be part of illness.

Or if it is drug induce then it depends upon what drug and dose she is taking.

SSRI generally cause burning sensation in stomach not whole body.

Burning senasation can be part of nutritional deficinecy and vitamin deficiency.

Take multivitamin supplement along with antidepressant.


Stopping antidepressant does not make any change in it. so please continue to take it.

Take plenty of water and take healthy diet.

Get well soon.

Still if you have query then feel free to ask.

Always here to help you.

Thank you.

Take care.
