Give it time: Although you are taking a low dose of Zoloft, (sertraline) you are still experiencing the effects of a new medicine. Many SSRI antidepressants have early side effects which,go away once your body gets used to the medicine. Unless it gets worse or you experience anything more severe, give yourself another week. If you still have these problems, contact your doctor.
