Sertraline side effect?

Hi, so I've started taking sertraline again over a week ago now. For about 5 days now I've had some pain come and go in my teeth(different place every day) and today my jaw is really aching. I put it down to clenching my jaw and then I realised the last time I was on sertraline it happened too.
Does anyone else who takes sertraline or has taken it in the past have the same side effect?
I get so paranoid when I have the slightest pain in any of my teeth but I'm positive this is due to taking sertraline.

Thank you to anyone who comments!

Jaw clenching is a really common side effect! I've been on it for 12 days now (50mg) and it's just started to ease off :).

Yes absolutely had this! Though for me it didn’t really go away!

Thank you.
Its such an awful feeling isnt it?
I'm constantly feeling anxious that it's not going to stop and I've something seriously wrong with all my teeth because of the aching.
I hope it starts to ease off soon like yours is.

Yes I had this at first, although it did ease off. The initial side effects of sertraline are horrible. My anxiety goes through the roof, I can’t sleep, and then they kick in and it’s all fabulous Smile
