A member asked:
I'm new to antidepressants, and i take zoloft (sertraline). can they make people go crazy? the news always puts up comments about ssris and people losing it.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In a word, No.: SSRI's like Zoloft (sertraline) are among the safest medications for depression and anxiety. The danger is that if a person is suffering from something else, like hearing voices, the medicine does not address such symptoms and they may become worse. This is why follow up with an experienced clinician with honest reporting of problems is so important. Report any problems.
