Changes in weight may be a side effect of antidepressant medication, but major weight changes when taking sertraline (Zoloft) are uncommon. If you have concerns about managing your weight while taking antidepressant medication, consult with your provider.
Fatigue or drowsiness is a common side effect of sertraline, particularly in the first several weeks. If you experience extreme or prolonged fatigue while taking sertraline, speak with your provider — they may advise trying a new medication, changing when you take your medication, or coping strategies.
Most SSRI medications like sertraline (Zoloft) take up to 8 weeks of regular use to be fully effective, with some people beginning to feel symptom relief as quickly as 1-2 weeks after starting.
When taking a medication to support your mental health, drinking alcohol is not advised. With sertraline, it can worsen existing side effects and cause new ones. You may feel intoxicated faster and may feel significantly unwell the following day. Talk to your provider before drinking alcohol or using any other substances.
For most people, mild side effects of taking sertraline (Zoloft) subside within days to a few weeks as your body and brain chemistry adjust. If you're experiencing negative side effects of any medication, speak with your provider — they may advise trying a new medication, changing when you take your medication, or coping strategies.
