A member asked:
What is the effects of drinking alcohol and using zoloft (sertraline)? what would happen when you use this together?

Not a good plan: Using zoloft (sertraline) and alcohol together accentuates the sedating properties of both. Also, alcohol use disrupts the sleep cycle -- which depression does also. Alcohol can worsen existing depression.

Zoloft (sertraline): I agree with dr. Pappas, also effect on stomach and intensifying side effects of zoloft (sertraline).
