What Causes Diarrhea While On Venlafaxine And Zoloft?

Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
Sometimes Zoloft can cause stomach upset. This rarely lasts more than 2 weeks. What is likely happening here is some GI distress including gallbladder involvement, which will be temporary, and will resolve within a couple weeks. If these symptoms persist beyond 2 more weeks, talk to your doctor about switching to a different antidepressant with lower risk of GI side effects such as Wellbutrin.

Welcome back,
I would try Wellbutrin instead of Zoloft, as it is less likely to cause GI side effects and is a very good antidepressant.
