I've been taking Zoloft (Sertraline) for about 6 weeks. Started with 25mg to 37.5mg and for the last 4 day's 50mg. I've noticed that I have shaky hands and at times my whole body feels jittery. Is this a side effect? If so does it go away?
Does Zoloft cause shaking?

Hey!
Yup, new or recurrent tremors and shakiness are common side effects and they often appear after a dosage increase. Since your metabolism is slowly adjusting to the medication and is already used to
the prior doses the side effects should resolve fairly quickly. Maybe give it a week or two.
