How long have you been taking it? Some side effects go away after you become regulated on a medication. Don't know about the nausea though. I guess the first thing I would wonder is if it feels in any way like it is helping you with your anxiety?

If it is then maybe your doctor can give you something for the nausea or suggest something until it subsides. I would never encourage anyone to stay on a med if there are more viable alternatives but finding the right med for panic/anxiety can be a real challenge. That is why it might be worth talking to your doctor about this side effect. On the other hand the first one you try isn't always going to be *the* one.

Call your doctor ASAP!

  You should go have some lab work done, now that you are on the Zoloft, and see what you liver panel looks like.  
   Make sure you are taking it with a meal, and also let your prescribing Doctor know about your new symptoms,  right away~

Make sure you don't have the generic brand--it has caused problems.
Either way, call your Dr. about it soon.
All the best to you
