Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Zoloft
Hello Dr. I have been having depression and intrusive thoughts for five years now. Tried Zoloft for two weeks and was very ill with it. Stomach cramps etc. I am afraid of side effects of meds like tolerance after a whole and other issues. I am now quite tired of dealing with this condition naturally. What help can you suggest.

Hi,
I can understand your concern about side effects after using Zoloft (Sertraline). Loose motions, stomach cramps, headache, abdominal discomfort, sleep disturbance are common side effects in initial weeks of treatment with Sertraline. Other better alternatives are reducing the dose of Sertraline or swithcing to Tablet Mirtazapine or Tablet Venlafaxine with Clonazepam. Kindly discuss with your treating psychiatrist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wish you rapid recovery.
Regards,
Dr. Chintan Raval
