side effect of zoloft

A:Like other medicines, ZOLOFT can cause some side effects. If they occur, most are likely to be minor and temporary. However, some may be serious and need medical attention. Tell your doctor immediately, or go to your nearest hospital if you notice any of the following: - fits or seizures - signs of allergy such as rash or hives, swelling of the face, lips or tongue, wheezing or difficulty breathing - symptoms of sudden fever with sweating, fast heart beat and muscle stiffness, which may lead to loss of consciousness - palpitations, fainting or chest pain - abnormal bleeding - symptoms of agitation, anxiety, confusion, dizziness, feeling tense and restless, feeling of tiredness, drowsiness, or lack of energy, headache, irritability, nausea, trouble sleeping and tingling or numbness of the hands and feet after stopping ZOLOFT. These symptoms are usually rare but may be serious and need urgent medical attention. Tell your doctor if you experience: - headache, dizziness, shakiness, muscle stiffness or weakness, decrease or loss of touch or other senses dry mouth, increased sweating, feeling sick, diarrhoea, indigestion, vomiting, stomach pain - tiredness, hot flushes, fever, feeling unwell - weight increase or loss - sleeping difficulties, sleepiness - sexual problems - agitation, nervousness, anxiety, frightening dreams, yawning, - abnormal thinking, teeth grinding, loss of appetite, impaired - concentration - vision disturbance - menstrual irregularities - difficulty in passing urine - unusually overactive - shaking or tremors These side effects are usually mild.

A:It delays ejaculation greatly so it can actually help in that area with prolonging things. It definitely does that. You can go longer. I'm using zoloft and androgel so they kinda counteract each other in that area.

A:I was put on Zoloft years ago and it gave me the same side effects. That, and excessive yawing. I felt like a zombie. I don't know if it the symptoms were temporary or not. Didn't wait to find out - I went back to my doctor and he prescribed me something else and I'd suggest you do the same. Zoloft definitely not a fits-all drug.

A:Of all of the SSRI meds, Zoloft has one of the shortest discontinuation recovery periods. Shouldn't take more that two weeks. However, don't be surprised if the new meds have the same side effect of the Zoloft. You may have to try several different kinds of anti-depresant medication before you find the right one. Be patient. And, be sure that you are working with a competent psychiatrist that knows what s/he is doing. Often, general practitioners just keep throwing samples at you to see what will work or not work. I hope you don't have one of those. Depression is serious and requires that you work with a trained individual that specializes in it. It is also very helpful to have a good counseling psychologist working in tandem with your psychiatrist or doctor. Good luck.

A:I've been on Zoloft for a while now, and I sweat a lil bit more than usual, but I think that might be because of my anxiety aswell, and if you worry about sweating, you are just going to sweat more! I have the dry mouth problem sometimes, but if I use a particular brand of toothpaste, it goes away, weird huh.
