Zoloft and hives

After years of dealing with social anxiety disorder and panic attacks, I was prescribed 50 mg of zoloft yesterday morning. i took my first pill at noon during lunch, and I felt naseous/exhausted throughout the day, but knew that it was a normal side effect and didn't think much of it. This morning I woke up with my face, chest, arms, and neck COVERED in hives. My face looks like I've got horrible acne. I went straight back to the doctor and she gave me a medicine to calm the reaction. I was unaware of any allergy, given that this is the first antidepressant I've ever tried. It's disappointing, though. All this waiting, and all I got out of it were a bunch of hives and nausea. Any one else have an experience like this?

I was taking Zoloft, for pain management, due to back surgery, this was taken for over 24 months during that time after the first six months my body broke out in hives. I would have muscle cramps in the middle of the nite in my legs. Dry mouth, hunger for food when I wasn't. Also my body broke out into numbers sores, that dermo couldn't figure out, after it left numerous scars on my arms, shoulders an buttock area and some on my legs, I quit taking this junk, medicine, also it cause me to have anxiety outburst, and made me angry when I am a happy go lucky person, personally I thiink this medicine is junk, now I have scars on my body to prove it.
