Please help, Is this from medication

I was on zoloft and after 4 weeks I started to have weird motor ticks. Like my face would tense up sometimes and my legs feel weaker and more wably. It comes and goes and I have been getting 6 hours asleep each night. I raised my does 3 days after that was happening but I didnt mention it thinking it was lack of sleep but its still hear. Does anybody know if this is because of the medication and I'll have to stop because it is working. Will they prescribe me something to stop thisd? Or could I possibly have something else, I dont think its parkinsons because Im 15. Any answers would help me out so much thanks:)

I have been on zoloft for 5 years and I have never experienced motor ticks...I don't know if this could be a side effect that happens to some people. I would just ask your doctor if this is a possible side effect and if you should change medication or lessen the dosage. I experience very few side effects with it, and only have unpleasantness with it when I stop taking it. Good luck!
