Does Zoloft Cause Adverse Side Effects In The Long Run?
can a person develop allergies or adverse reactions to meds that they have taken before with no problems my mother was on zoloft 4 years ago with no problems but now she is up to the dose she was on 4 years ago with no results and experiencing many negative side effects.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I think she is experiencing the withdrawal symptoms of sertraline. She has to lower the dose gradually to better tape the discontinuation symptoms. A doctor can easily diagnose the discontinuation symptoms if she takes the dose she used to take and feels better.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
