Zoloft (sertraline): Yes, depending on the dose, how long u have been on the medication, and how rapidly u were tapered off of it. If symptoms not releaved within a week, talk to the prescribing doctor.

It can be: Talk to your doctor if these are withdrawal related symptoms. Perhaps you can be taken off the medication more gradually.
