zoloft side effects?

i recently started taking zoloft, 100mgs a day. it has almost been a month now. i cant really tell where it is helping much, but i will keep at it i guess. my question is, i go thru several times a day when i feel like im going to burn up, i will almost be drenched in sweat. is hot flashes normal with zoloft? if so i dont know if i want to continue. i think im too young for the change, only 30. i also had a baby 8 months ago, so i dont know if maybe my hormones are still screwed up. hope you guys can help me.

I started Zoloft in April at 50 mg and in May was upped to 100. I experience sweating and being hotter than normal. When I had my psychiatrist(the one who regulates my meds) appointment in June, I asked her about it. She told me some folks have that as a side affect. She told me not everyone has this type of side affect.
