A member asked:
I'm currently on zoloft (sertraline) for depression what are the serious side effects of zoloft (sertraline)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Side effects: Other than allergy to the medication the only really serious side effect with Zoloft (sertraline) is that it can very rarely cause suicidal thoughts in some people(usually children and young adults). Otherwise, side effects are usually relatively minor: upset stomach, decreased libido, impaired or delayed ejaculation, dry mouth, drowsiness, agitation, insomnia. Many of the side effects go away with time.
