A member asked:
Can zoloft (sertraline) have a stimulating effect. nothing excessive, but more like a cup of coffee feeling?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: Sertraline was designed to not be activating. In practice, though, it can cause some increase in anxiety and agitation, in which case talk to your doctor if it is disturbing to you and see about changing. Sometimes, though, as a person becomes less depressed they feel more clear headed and awake. If anything is disturbing your mood, talk to your provider.
