Jett - Yes, tremor is a side effect, but it usually lessens considerably in the first month, as does the diarrhea. You can eat a couple of bananas or if the diarrhea is troublesome, try Imodium.
I wouldn't suggest a switch to Serzone unless you've given the Zoloft a fair trial (8 weeks) and if it works I'd be hesitant to stop it and try Serzone. Ask your doc about the tremors and see if he/she thinks they are bad enought to justify a switch. I believe the Zoloft to be a better drug for combined OCD/depression than Serzone, in most people. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Hope this helps - Cam
