Zoloft (sertraline): I admire you for your discipline for Health! Zoloft (sertraline) is a medication primarily for Depression. Its daily dose effect lasts for 24 hours. It is ok to have some food while taking Zoloft (sertraline). Taking medication after food helps to minimize GI side effects. If you are planning fast for many days, see your Physician.
