ZOLOFT  (SERTRALINE HYDROCHLORIDE):  Sertraline is used to treat depression, panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, social anxiety disorder (social phobia), and a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (premenstrual dysphoric disorder). This medication may improve your mood, sleep, appetite, and energy level and may help restore your interest in daily living. It may decrease fear, anxiety, unwanted thoughts, and the number of panic attacks. It may also reduce the urge to perform repeated tasks (compulsions such as hand-washing, counting, and checking) that interfere with daily living. Sertraline is known as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It works by helping to restore the balance of a certain natural substance (serotonin) in the brain.   FDA Approval Date: 1991-12-30 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Depression Weight gain (20lbs.), no sexual feelings at all, inability to reach orgasm, terrible night sweats, tremor in hands, headaches, feeling of At first, I din't realize all of these side effects were related to Zoloft.

 5  severe anxiety Very sleepy during the first 4 weeks. Zoloft worked great for me. I eventually went off if it for fear of long term side effects which can happen with any antidepressants. After long term use I also had increased appetite (I always felt hungry)and I had weight gain. Getting off was difficult. I also developed hypothyroidism, which I have been told can happen from using antidepressants. Zoloft had been a life saver for me however and the best anxiety medication I have ever tried. I would strongly recommend for anyone who doesn't have serious side effects. F 39 3 years
