Specializes in Psychiatry

Zoloft (sertraline): I don't know how long you were on zoloft (sertraline) before skipping doses, but withdrawal effects can happen when doing that. I suggest restarting your medication, and letting your physician know what's happened. If and when it comes time to taper again, you and your doctor can create a more gradual schedule.
