Sertraline side effects- will they fade?

I have been on Sertraline for 8 days now (PND), and the side effects are really getting to me. I feel sick, especially in the mornings (I take them at 11pm before bed). I seem to be more anxious, sweaty, weepy, wobbly, have a dry mouth etc. It doesn't help i have a heavy cold too which is probably making me feel more foggy too.

Do you think i will adjust to them soon, or need to change to another type? I know they can take 2-4 weeks to start feeling better, but i just feel terrible at the moment.

I am in my second week on 100mg, first week 50mb. I feel absolutely washed out, sick feeling although not being sick, sweaty hands, lethargic, and generally feeling unwell. I am at a crossroads, should I stick or cut my losses !! I am getting terrible heartburn, and pains in my stomach and back, but I am unsure if this is the Sertraline. I had my gall bladder removed 12 months ago. I have been diagnosed with Health Anxiety. I have been reading the posts and can relate to a lot of them, think I am just looking for reassurance.

I took 25mg of sertraline for 4weeks I'm now on 100mg I was sick nausea sweating even quite shaky to start. Percevere because the results are worth it i no longer experience anxiety. My metal state is much better. The side effects are awful an last around 2/3 for me.
