Drug Uses
Zoloft
is a prescription medicine used to treat depression, panic disorder,
obsessive-compulsive disorder (also called OCD) and posttraumatic stress
disorder (also called PTSD) in adults. Zoloft is also used to treat OCD in
children (ages 6-12) and adolescents (ages 12-17).
How To Take
Zoloft
comes as a tablet to take it orally. It is usually taken once daily and may be
taken with or without food. Take Zoloft exactly as directed. Do not take more
or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor. Continue to
take Zoloft even if you feel well. Do not stop taking Zoloft without talking to
your doctor, especially if you have taken large doses for a long time. Your
doctor probably will want to decrease your dose gradually. This drug must be
taken regularly for a few weeks before its full effect is felt.
Warnings/Precautions
Before
taking Zoloft, tell your doctor if you have liver disease; kidney disease;
suffer from seizures; or suffer from mania or have suicidal thoughts. You may
not be able to take Zoloft, or you may need a dosage adjustment or special
monitoring during treatment if you have any of the conditions listed above.
Zoloft is in the FDA pregnancy category C. This means that it is unknown
whether it will be harmful to an unborn baby. Do not take Zoloft without first
talking to your doctor if you are pregnant or could become pregnant during
treatment. It is not known whether Zoloft passes into breast milk. Do not take
Zoloft without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Missed Dose
If
you take Zoloft once a day in the morning, take the missed dose as soon as you
remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed
dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. If you take Zoloft once a day
at bedtime and do not remember to take it until the next morning, skip the
missed dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

If
you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking Zoloft
and contact your doctor immediately or seek emergency medical treatment: an
allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the
lips, tongue, or face; or hives); an irregular heartbeat or pulse; low blood
pressure (dizziness, weakness); high blood pressure (severe headache, blurred
vision); or chills or fever. If you experience any of the following less
serious side effects, continue taking Zoloft and talk to your doctor: headache;
tremor, nervousness, or anxiety; nausea, diarrhea, dry mouth, or changes in
appetite or weight; sleepiness or insomnia; or decreased sex drive, impotence,
