No: Zoloft (sertraline) and Lamictal do not cause thrush-candidiasis. The treatment for oral candidiasis is an antifungal. Maybe you don't have candidiasis and it is a chemical or thermal burn? It could also be hairy leukoplakia, premalignant leukoplakia, lichen planus or reactive glossitis... Ask a dentist.
