A member asked:
I've been taking sertraline for 2 weeks and suddenly developed a rash on my trunk - could this be a side effect? what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, could be: If there are no other new medications you've started, this rash could be related to zoloft (sertraline). Please contact your prescribing physician and let him or her know what's happening. S/he may advise you to stop the zoloft (sertraline), but you need to hear this from your own doctor. Other medications may not cause this in you, and could be tried. Take care.
