Does Zoloft Causes Behavioral Changes?
My son has been taking zoloft for about 5 years now. At first it worked great. More confidence around people.
Past year I noticed he didn't show much affection with his family and acted angry with us most of the time. He would tell us stuff, forget he said it. Now hes taking 100 milligrams. Do you think this drug is really helping him.
Also seems tired alot. He works but not physical work.
I really need your advice I would love to help my son.

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Zoloft consists of sertraline and it help to control underline depression. Sometime, due to depression, patient become irritable and do not like to talk much. I think, his underline depression may be increasing and dose has to be increased. Better to consult a psychiatrist and get him properly evaluated.
Thanks
