Sertraline week 7 - Tricep/Upper arm muscle pain/tension

Entering my seventh week on 50mg daily. I can certainly feel the difference in terms of my anxiety levels which have reduced considerably (so, do stick with it, newbies!) after a rough start - crippling health anxiety is my main issue - but I'm becoming increasingly worried about muscle pain/tension in my upper right arm. It's not noticeable when my arms are at my sides or even particularly at the keyboard, but when I raise my right arm I experience a borderline painful/post-gym workout feeling in my tricep/shoulder muscle. I thought it might be temporary, but I've had this issue for a few weeks and it doesn't seem to be abating. If anything, it's gotten worse.

Essentially, I'm wondering whether anybody has experienced this kind of muscle pain/ache this far into Sertraline use?

Thanks in advance!

    I've been experiencing muscle fatigue in my arms as well after one week. I wasn't sure if it was sertraline or flu.
