Zoloft for tiredness [posted 1/7/99] Question:My husband has been given zoloft by his physician to treat his “blah” moods and tiredness. I have been doing some reading on the drug and what I have read says it is for severe depression and panic disorders. My husband is not “depressed”, just can’t seem to find energy. He can just be sitting there and all of a sudden can’t stop yawning and his eyes get red and watery. He doesn’t get motivated about things like he used to. At first we thought it was a thyroid problem, but his blood work came back fine. I am feeling a bit worried about his doctors choice to give him, what seems to me to be a serious drug, based purely on a guess. What would be the normal uses for Zoloft, and would his symptoms fit those uses? Answer: I’d try it and see what happens. If it corrects his blahs it wouldn’t be the first time. The side effects are pretty minimal. Zoloft Concerns
