Welcome to HCM
This is Dr Amit. Let me help you in this case.
Yes Zoloft (sertraline) which is selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) can very well cause confusion, swinging sensation. Apart from it other major side effects are drowsiness, dizziness, tired feeling, mild nausea, stomach pain, constipation,dry mouth etc. I will advice you to take advice from your consultation report the problem to him and ask him to replace Zoloft with any other better drug or to start again Elavil
