Drug Uses
Zoloft is a prescription medicine used to treat depression, panic disorder,
obsessive-compulsive disorder (also called OCD) and post-traumatic stress
disorder (also called PTSD) in adults. Zoloft is also used to treat OCD in
children (ages 6-12) and adolescents (ages 12-17).
How Taken
Zoloft comes as a tablet to take it orally. It is usually taken once daily
and may be taken with or without food. Take Zoloft exactly as directed. Do
not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your
doctor. Continue to take Zoloft even if you feel well. Do not stop taking
Zoloft without talking to your doctor, especially if you have taken large
doses for a long time. Your doctor probably will want to decrease your dose
gradually. This drug must be taken regularly for a few weeks before its full
effect is felt.
Warnings/Precautions
Before taking Zoloft, tell your doctor if you have liver disease; kidney
disease; suffer from seizures; or suffer from mania or have suicidal thoughts.
You may not be able to take Zoloft, or you may need a dosage adjustment or
special monitoring during treatment if you have any of the conditions listed
above. Zoloft is in the FDA pregnancy category C. This means that it is unknown
whether it will be harmful to an unborn baby. Do not take Zoloft without
first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant or could become pregnant
during treatment. It is not known whether Zoloft passes into breast milk.
Do not take Zoloft without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding
a baby.
Missed Dose
If you take Zoloft once a day in the morning, take the missed dose as soon
as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip
the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. If you take Zoloft
once a day at bedtime and do not remember to take it until the next morning,
skip the missed dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Possible Side Effects
If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking
Zoloft and contact your doctor immediately or seek emergency medical treatment:
an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling
of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives); an irregular heartbeat or pulse;
low blood pressure (dizziness, weakness); high blood pressure (severe headache,
blurred vision); or chills or fever. If you experience any of the following
less serious side effects, continue taking Zoloft and talk to your doctor:
headache; tremor, nervousness, or anxiety; nausea, diarrhea, dry mouth, or
changes in appetite or weight; sleepiness or insomnia; or decreased sex drive,
impotence, or difficulty having an orgasm. Side effects other than those
listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that
seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.

vomiting, tremor, seizures, agitation, drowsiness, hyperactivity, and enlarged
pupils.
