Hi,

Zoloft doesn't cause any swallowing problem. But the symptoms like difficulty in swallowing and breathing that you have mentioned are seen in Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS).

So, it mostly looks like your dosage for the syndrome is not enough for you. So, I suggest you consult your physician and ask for altering the dose of the drug or for alternative medication.

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