What Causes Diarrhea While On Zoloft?

I am currently taking Zoloft. 50 mg. been taking 1/2 pill every other day. Took one yesterday. I have been having diarrhea and skin breaking out. I am on psoriasis medicine Stelara and seem to react to any drugs. Can I just quit taking Zoloft since I was just taking half dosage ever other day? Thanks

Hi,

You can stop using Zoloft if you have side effects like rush and diarrhea. You have to remember that Zoloft is a habit forming medication and can give withdrawal symptoms. Try to lower dose gradually for a week.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
