A member asked:

I have taken one 50mg dose of zoloft (sertraline) but had terrible side effects. will i have withdrawal if i stop taking it?

Consult doctor: There are other medications that are useful for treatment of depression. Please talk to your doctor so that s/he may switch you to a different medication rather than stopping the treatment on your own.
