zoloft question

I got a prescription for zoloft this week and am taking 25 mgs at night for the past 2 nights. I am EXHAUSTED. My whole body aches. Is this a side effect of the zoloft, or is this the depression/anxiety still waiting for the meds to kick in? Someone please tell me I will feel better (normal even?) soon. I took paxil years ago and have no recollection of how long it took to feel better...I know it wasn't instantaneous, but I pray to God it doesn't take a month! Does anyone have any ideas on things to do to feel better until they do kick in? I'm forcing myself to walk 10 mins to my daughter's busstop (I am a slug so that counts as exercise, right?) and I am taking tylenol for my body aches.

THanks for your support...I just found this board and you all are so friendly!

I am so glad that you're getting help, Rachel. It sounds as if the exhaustion you're feeling may be the anxiety. Until we learn to cope better & the meds kick in, sore muscles & extreme tiredness
