What Causes Bruises On The Leg While On Zoloft?

My 15 year old daughter is scheduled to fly to Europe Saturday. She just pointed out to me she has several large bruises on her leg. She began taking Zoloft 2 weeks ago. We plan to go to the doctor tomorrow. Do you think it s safe for her to fly?

Hello dear
Understand your concern.
Zoloft is a selective serotonin e reactive inhibitor, used in depression, anxiety disorder, premenstrual syndrome.

Following common side effects of drug are below:
Drowsiness
Dizziness
Dry mouth
Heartburn
diarrhea
Skin rash.

But you should contact the doctor immediately if following side effects occur:
Excessive weight loss
Bleeding tendancy
Easy bruising
Seizure

I think she has side effects of drug.
You should consult the doctor before plan the trip.

Hope this may help you.
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
