Internist Questions Zoloft

What are the side effects of Zoloft?

I've been using Zoloft for a year and a half and started experiencing low sex drive and nausea sometimes. Are these the side effects of this medication? What are some other side effects?

Yes.
Yes, both of these are know side effects of Zoloft. Common side effects of Zoloft include: diarrhea, dizziness, drowsiness, dyspepsia, fatigue, insomnia, loose stools, nausea, tremor, headache, paresthesia, anorexia, decreased libido, delayed ejaculation, diaphoresis, ejaculation failure, and xerostomia. Other side effects include: abdominal pain, agitation, pain, vomiting, anxiety, hypouricemia, and malaise.

I would recommend that you follow-up with the prescribing physician to see if there are other alternatives.
