Zoloft question

I started taking zoloft 50mg yesterday for depression/chronic fatigue syndrome, I am only on my second day. Are you supposed to feel extremely tired/fatigued when you first start taking it - and how exactly does it make you feel when it is at it's functioning peak?

Thank you

i was on zoloft years ago for a major depressive episode.  it took a few weeks for it to kick in but when it did i felt like anything was possible.  i do remember feeling very tired at first though i wouldn't have known the cause since my depression was depleting me so terribly.  
there were about two weeks that i couldn't get out of bed but again, that may have been the depression and the fact that i had started psychotherapy and my "lid" was opened up and all sorts of emotions were starting to flow out that were exhausting and very painful.  stick with it, i hope it helps you the way it did me for the time i needed it.  good luck!
