Can Zoloft Cause Diarrhea?
I have been having loose stools and some diarrhea for awhile. I stared taking Zoloft about 2 months ago. I have increased the the dosage to 1 as a day as prescribed by my Dr. I have started taking Immodium too! Could this be a result of taking Zoloft? My Dr has had all blood work done and stool samples. Everything has been negative. Please advisr

Hello,
Yes, it is due to Zoloft. The most common side effects of it include nausea or upset stomach, diarrhea, sweating, tremor, or a decreased appetite.
Sexual side effects may also occur, most notably ejaculation failure and decreased libido.
Diarrhea leads people to become non-compliant pretty quickly. Instead of quitting your medications, please visit your clinician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
