Is anyone else taking Zoloft (Sertraline) for anxiety and panic?

I am on Day 9 and my life has been pretty much Hell since starting this drug. I have stooped to the lowest lows I have ever experienced. Horrible sensations, pains, constant unceasing anxiety and panic. It's completely debilitating. Will it get better or is this a life sentence?

I am on 50mg.

It gives me insomnia. Nothing else. I have been using it on and off for years.

Your symptoms are normal for someone who hasn't been introduced to the drug except for pain. It takes up to four weeks for the anxiety as side effect to go away.

You should talk about this with your doctor.
