I've taken my first 50mg of sertraline prescribed for depression, my jaw is shaking and my arms & legs feel very shaken and weak, is this normal? thx

Maybe: It sound like you may be having a not uncommon initial adverse reaction to zoloft (sertraline). Usually it passes. Sometimes you can decrease dose for a few days then increase to 50 mg . These side effects usually pass. If you get hyper or manicky m have mood swings or suicidal thought, please see your doctor and discontinue medication.
