Effects of medicine: Like this are unpredictable and individual.On the other hand , it could mean you need to increase the dose. U must return to your treating doctor and be reevaluated .These meds are hit and miss...But keep working with your doc and , hopefully, you will feel better soon.

SAD not from Zoloft (sertraline): Zoloft (sertraline) does not cause social anxiety. It usually treats it. I don't believe this is from zoloft (sertraline). Are you still on risperdal? Are you still taking it.? What are your diagnoses? Do you use pot? Pot can cause it. It can arise at any time, even if you are treated with zoloft (sertraline). Also, has it been diagnosed by a qualified mental health professional? Please provide more history for a more complete answer.
