Not normal: Nosebleed from Zoloft (sertraline) is an uncommon if not rare side effect. However, it's possible both headache (more common) and nosebleeds are from Zoloft (sertraline) if both began when you started this med. Review with prescribing doctor to consider lowering dose or switching to another med not likely to cause these side effects. I hope this helps.
