How Do You Treat Depression With Zoloft?
Zoloft (sertraline) is the most prescribed antidepressant in the United States, possibly because it is extremely effective in treating a wide variety of mood disorders. Also, its effects are more tolerated by a wider segment of the population. By consulting with your mental-health professional, you can decide whether you want to treat your depression with Zoloft. Determine whether you are experiencing symptoms typical of a major-depressive disorder, such as clinical depression. These symptoms may include periods of sadness that extend beyond 2 weeks, weight loss or gain, irregular-sleeping patterns and thoughts of despair or suicide. Be aware of the side effects of using Zoloft to treat depression, which are fairly typical of selective serotonin uptake inhibitor (SSRI) depressants. They include bruxism (grinding teeth during sleep), nausea, insomnia, body-weight fluctuations, diarrhea, constipation, dry mouth, headaches and sexual dysfunction.
