See your DR: The question is why are you bruising? Suspect all meds, but Zoloft (sertraline) would be an unlikely cause. If they are pathologic bruises, you will need blood tests. You will also need to review all pills, supplements, vitamins. Note that Vit C is in most foods, seldom is of any benefit in large doses, and may sometimes be tainted with contaminants. The vitamin C in USA all comes now from China-- cheaper.

Easy bruising: Zoloft (sertraline), (sertraline)unlike aspirin or Aleve, is not known for causing easy bruisability,but since this is new for you a cbc and platelet count is recommended to evaluate you for any blood disorders. This would be especially important if you also have gum or nose bleeding. Discuss this with your physician before stopping or reducing the Zoloft (sertraline) dose.
