What Are The Side Effects Of Zoloft 25 Mg?

Hi, I recently started taking Zoloft 25 mg. I ve noticed my pupils are dialated, also I started spotting, instead of having a normal period. Could that be related to the Zoloft? I don t have any symptoms of pregnancy. I m mostly concerned about the spotting.

Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM.
I appreciate your concern for the safety of Zoloft.
Incomplete data: Age, duration of the symptoms, indication for Zoloft.

Basically Zoloft (SSRI Antidepressant) used in the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder, phobias, panic disorder, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, etc.
It is one of the safest drugs used in the treatment of depression.
However, it is known to cause the following side effects:
Sleep disturbances, sexual dysfunctions (loss of libido, failure of ejaculation), agitation, abdominal pain, dry mouth, dry eyes, blurring of vision due to dilated pupils.
It is also associated with abnormal menstrual bleeding (intermenstrual).

If the bleeding or spotting is troublesome, you are advised to visit your treating doctor for possible use of alternate medicine.

Hope this answers your query.
Regards.
