Zoloft jitters?

I have been on Zoloft for 4 days now. The first day I took it in the morning and it made me kind of drowsy and I called my doctor and she said I could start taking it at night. So I have been taking it at night, but now it makes me soooo jittery. Im taking it for anxiety and the jitteryness (sp?) is not helping! My husband keeps telling me to give it some time before I give up on it. I dont like the jittery feeling though, and I almost want to call my doctor and tell he I want to stop taking it. Anyone else experience this side effect? Did it eventually go away?

    I hear it can exacerbate anxiety sometimes so maybe give it another week and if it doesn't go away then call your doctor and switch.

    Try taking it with food.  I take mine at lunch.  If I took it in the morning, it made me tired, but if I took it at night it kept me awake.  This has been the best time for me!
