Hi,
Nausea, tremor, diarrhea, increased sweating, loss of appetite are some of the side effects of Zoloft. Increased sweating is a common side effect of the drug, since the drug increases serotonin which is responsible for the side effects. Adequate hydration is essential. Dose adjustments can be done to control the side effects.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
