A member asked:

Sertraline is effecting my fitness performance-- is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

In what way?: Sometimes people on ssris including sertraline/zoloft can experience side effects including appetite/weight change, increased sweating/decreased heat tolerance etc. These would not be expected or "normal" side effects but they can occur. Speak to your prescribing physician about your concerns and the options to address these.
