A member asked:

Started using zoloft (sertraline) again after 5 month break, and have extreme dry and sore throat - is that due to the medicine? has lasted for several months now.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Side effects: Dry mouth is a listed side effect of Zoloft (sertraline, used for depression, panic disorder, multiple other problems). If extreme and persisting, though, it should be examined by a physician.
