A member asked:

Why i feel difference when i take serlift compare to zoloft (sertraline) ? i thought they are the same

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Supposedly: they are equivalent in sertraline, with respect to bioavailability. There is always the chance that for your body, that doesn't work; but there is also the matter of perception and belief, placebo and nocebo. For you and your prescriber to sort out.
