negative side effects of zoloft

A:I don't think the generic is best for you. I think you should ask your doctor to write "daw" (dispense as written) on your prescriptions so that you get the brand name zoloft. I notice that I have increased OCD behavior on the generic too.

A:There are some minor side effects as you get used to Zoloft. Occasional headaches and minor dizziness and dry mouth. But I found the side effects all went away after about three weeks. I took it for four years with no problem and it really helped my depression and anxiety.

A:Zoloft withdrawal. Although zoloft is not considering addictive, when you go off it, it gives you terrible symptoms

A:Any antidepressants have a negative side effect on our ability to enjoy sex. I would ask my doctor or if you want, quit the drug, enjoy sex but feel real depressed afterwards. No sex and feel depressed, or sex and still feel depressed - real depressing world we live in.....

A:Zoloft, or its generic counterpart sertraline, is generally well tolerated by most people. It is in a class of pharmaceuticals called SSRI's (like Paxil, etc) and is used for depression, anxiety, and some mood disorders. The side effects are often mild in adults, though alcohol use is not recommended. However, if you at any time notice any negative change in thought or anxiety be sure to let your physician know as not every medication is right for everyone. For a more detailed list of side effects I would check out webmd.com. As far as your nervousness about taking Zoloft, you should know that there are A LOT of people who use anti-depressants or anti-anxiety meds at some point in their lives -- its just that not many people talk about it. There are a lot of people who's lives have been improved by it, though I would certainly suggest if you have concerns to discuss it with your doctor and s/he can answer your questions specifically to your background and needs. Hope that helps!
