A member asked:
I seem to be experiencing slight joint and muscle pain after starting zoloft (sertraline). should this pass after a week or so ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A few weeks: Sorry to hear you have harsh side effects, but more often than not these initial side effects are to be expected and happen during the first couple of weeks of treatment. Side effects are common, but don't give up without trying. Ask your doctor for more information.
