I started taking 200 mg of zoloft in the morning.two weeks ago. have been getting numb face and side of face. 83 and it feels like stroke?

That's quite a high dose for your age after 2 weeks but facial numbness is not a known side effect of Zoloft so you need to see your doctor for a possible neurologic event.

You could be very correct, as new facial numbness which is persistent could be a sign of a small stroke. Your Zoloft is not the cause of the sensory changes. See a neurologist, get examined and perhaps imaged and get all of this handled.
