Sertraline is used to treat depression, panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This medication works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural chemicals in the brain.
This medication has also been used to treat a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (premenstrual dysphoric disorder- PMDD) and a sexual function problem in men (premature ejaculation).

How does Zoloft Antidepressant work?

Depressive and anxiety symptoms are the result of a biochemical imbalance in the brain, a disturbance in the brain's chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. Zoloft acts on the neurotransmitter serotonin, allowing electrical messages to be processed more smoothly and efficiently. This helps relieve symptoms of depression.

" I am an 18-year-old female, and I have been treated for depression over the past year and a half. With my doctor's approval, I decided it was time to finish taking my medication (Zoloft 150 mg). I feel that I must be strong enough to gain full control of my life without the assistance of medication. But it has been very difficult. I have been primarily noticing dizziness and an increase in appetite. Are these common side effects? What can I do to make this transition less emotionally demanding?

"I have had Dysthymia for a very long time, and I was coping with it until I had a rather severe bout of major depression in 2002. I was prescribed zoloft at first, and started taking one 20mg tablet a day, but was increased to two 20mg tablets over a month.

At first I got quite bad side effects. I was nauseated, felt spaced out and dizzy, and was very tried. I just generally felt ill. They last about a week and then all was fine.
I took the tablets for several months and all was going fine, but then out of the blue they stopped working for me and I became depressed again, so I was taken off them and put onto another anti-depressant.

My advice to someone seeking anti-depressants is to find the one that is right for you, and don't worry or lose hope if the first one that you try doesn't work or gives you bad side effects. Just go back to your doctor and try another one. It's like that for any medication, not everyone works for every person."
