Hi there,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I am Dr.Barani and I am pleased to assist you.

Zoloft contains Sertraline.
Some of the common side effects of Zoloft (Sertraline) are diarrhea, memory loss, sexual dysfunction, tremors, sleeplessness.

Difficulty is urination though not a common side effect of Zoloft, can occur.
Involvement of the serotonergic neurons is believed to cause this side effect.

I hope that answers your query.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
