    Hi Wendy, yes this is quite normal. You are really early in this game called zoloft. It usually takes 6 to 8 weeks to feel alot better. I'm glad you see your doctor when things don't feel right. I too have health anxiety, and the more you worry about your health the more anxiety you have. Its a vicious cycle. My heart would pound and yes sometimes race, for me it was anxiety but always keep talking to your doctor. I hope you start feeling better. 😎

    8 days in? Yup these are all normal side effects. Your side effects should start calming down in the next few weeks. My side effects went away around the 3-4th week or so.
