This is very common, and may or may not indicate real problems. Check out the
archives for a discussion, and look to see if your energy and gradient have
moved to appropriate values -- e.g. how many steps of minimization were
performed?

This generally indicates some problems with the energy function or the
starting point. If you look at the potential energy, you will probably see
that it is going way down (more negative) during this initial period, and you
will need to find out why.

...good luck...dac
