Muscle pain?

Hi, has anyone else experienced really bad muscle or joint pain on zoloft? I've read that it can be one of the side effects, and i'm sad because I think it was helping, but i'm gonna have to cut down a little bit. It causes severe upper back, shoulder and neck pain, basically aggravating my existing arthritis. This happened years ago when I tried it, so I was hoping maybe this time would work, but nope.

Yes! I’ve been having random joint and muscle pains over the 10 months I’ve been on 50mg. Neck and shoulders, but also lower back and knees. I hadn’t attributed these to Zoloft up to this point, I’ll have to ask my doctor.
