How effectively does zoloft (sertraline) work for anxiety, insomnia and does it cause weight loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Zoloft (sertraline): Zoloft (sertraline) can be very effective for treating anxiety. Insomnia can occur occassionally as a side effect. When that happens, i usually recommend that it be taken in the morning. It can cause weight loss or gain (but weight gain is more common).
