Sertraline : Sertraline (zoloft) potentiates bleeding. So if there any concern over an ulcer it would not be safe. A safer choice may be to get a prescription for zofran (ondansetron) (odansetron) from student health. That is orally absorbed and safe to take for nausea.

Options: Other thoughts- if you have nausea with Zoloft, take it with food. Virtually all my patients with SSRI GI upset do well with probiotics.
