Day 1 on Zoloft: how long will I feel like this?

[peggy67]

I was wondering if any fellow Zoloft users have any advice. I am on day 1 of Zoloft.  This is my first attempt with an SSRI.  I don't feel terrible, but I definitely don't feel good.  Mainly, I just feel tense.  My body is achy, dry mouth, clenched jaw, focus problems, slight headache.  It feels like when you've had WAY too much coffee.  I'm wondering if anyone has had the same symptoms...and how long they lasted for you.

Thanks

I am just switching of of zoloft after one year and all the side effects disappeared for the most part, except for the wired feeling that had recently begin tofeel worse. I haven't enjoyed a cup of coffee in a while.  Outside of that, I was happy with it 80% of the time, but of course, YMMV.

I found it took about 3 weeks for zoloft to start to work for me and for minor side effects to subside.

Really happy to say that on Day 2 of Zoloft, I mostly feel like myself.  I'm definitely not getting too hopeful, yet.  But the nasty "wired" feeling I felt on Day 1 is definitely gone! Hoping for only good things from here on
