Accepted Answer

Talk w/your Dr: They have loosely related effects, so in theory could cause excess effect/side effects. If you are improving, should talk to your dr and decide together if should withdraw one and check for change or leave things as are.

Question 3

what otc cough med can you take if also taking sertraline?

Accepted Answer

Here's a link that: ...lists the medications you should not take concomitantly with sertraline.  Ref: http://www.rxlist.com/drug-interactions/serious-index/sertraline-oral.htm

Question 4

can i take n.o.-xplode caffeine free, when i'm taking zoloft (sertraline).

Accepted Answer

Not worth the risk.: This supplement's effectiveness is likely related to stimulant properties, even without caffeine. Using zoloft (sertraline) will make it harder for your liver to metabolize the supplement so your blood levels of it will be higher risking cardiovascular health.  There are safer ways to improve fitness.

Question 5

hi i was wondering if icould take ativan after taking zoloft (sertraline) thevday before?

Accepted Answer

Yes: you can.  Take the Ativan as prescribed. By your doctor.  But no issues after taking Zoloft (sertraline)

Question 6

what is the best otc cold medicine to take when you are taking 50mg of zoloft (sertraline)?

Accepted Answer

Mucolytics: Antihistamines and Mucinex (guaifenesin) or other mucolytics work best. Decongestants may once blood,pressure and anxiety.  Generally antihistamines are not recommended due to making mucous stickier.
Drink lots of liquids, teas and chicken soup!

Question 7

hi, i am taking zoloft (sertraline) 50 mg. what otc medicine is safe to take for cold/cough?

Accepted Answer

Chicken Soup ; Other: No kidding--chicken soup has been proven effective for colds. As for otc medications they are usually no problem--however--be aware any mix of medications can have unexpected reactions. So follow label directions and be extra cautious to start.

Question 8

what time is best to take zoloft (sertraline) for anxiety morning or night? would taking it at night lose its effect by morning time?

Accepted Answer

Zoloft (sertraline): There is no rule of thumb -- start with the medicine at bedtime -- if you find that it is keeping you awake, take it in the morning -- see what works best for you.

Question 9

been taking zoloft (sertraline) 100mg recently started thinking girlfriend left me for good.  also take donezepil, should zoloft (sertraline) be switched?

Accepted Answer

Donezepezil + Zoloft (sertraline): I assume that the physician who prescribed the donezepil did not know you were on Zoloft (sertraline)?  These drugs could interact leading to an increased effect of donepezil. This may or may not be OK for you. My advice to you is to inform both doctors that you are on both drugs and ask if it's OK or whether you should adjust one of the doses or even change the Zoloft (sertraline) to an alternate antidepressant.

Question 10

i stopped taking zoloft (sertraline) because i was scared it would interfere with the plan b i took. i took the plan b pill over a week ago. is it okay to continue to take my zoloft (sertraline) (50mg) again?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The Zoloft (sertraline) wouldn't have interfered, and it is okay to restart it. Make sure to check a pregnancy test in a couple of weeks - Plan B can cause irregular bleeding or delay your cycle, so take a test to make sure you're not pregnant about 3 weeks from when you had unprotected intercourse.
