Can Sertraline Cause Drugged Feeling,short Term Memory Loss And Throat Discomfort?
For the last 6 months or so, i have been having (first occasional) now FREQUENT tranquil drugged feeling.. along with short term memory and concentration problems as well as frequent throat discomfort. At first i was not alarmed because i thought it may be my sertraline besides it feels good but i know its not normal, however i have been on sertraline for over 4 years so why would it start this side effect now. My doctor says my thyroid checks out fine but i need to get this resolved.

Hi,
It happens. It isn't common with sertraline and it overlaps the symptoms of depression so it gets quite tricky.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
