A member asked:

Can zoloft make you feel weak, shaky, increase urination and have muscle twitches. i'm on day 4 of 50mg of zoloft for panic disorder?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Zoloft clearly does have side effects and many folks are intolerant. You appear to be in this group. Contact your doctor ASAP, and discuss your reactions. Many other anti-depressant medications are available, and likely you will tolerate them far better.
