Zoloft is used to treat major depression that continues and disrupts the ability to carry out daily life. This level of depression is also characterized by loss of interest in your usual activities, disturbed sleep, change in appetite, constant fidgeting or lethargic movement, fatigue, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, difficulty thinking or concentrating, and recurrent thoughts of suicide.
Zoloft is sometimes used for a type of depression called premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). This problem is defined by a emotional instability, anxiety or tension, depressed mood, and anger or irritability in the two weeks before menstruation. Other symptoms may include difficulty concentrating, loss of interest in activities, lack of energy, changes in appetite or sleep patterns, and feeling out of control.
Another problem that Zoloft can treat is obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This includes symptoms such as persistent and undesirable thoughts, or a drive to repeat unreasonable rituals such as counting or hand washing. Panic disorder is a crippling emotional condition that causes unexpected attacks of overwhelming anxiety. Posttraumatic stress disorder can also be eased by taking Zoloft. This emotional condition typically appears as a result of a terrifying experience. Its symptoms include intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, and intense psychological distress.
Zoloft belongs to a category of drugs called "selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors." Serotonin is a brain chemical that helps regulate mood. It is typically reabsorbed after being released between nerves, but reuptake inhibitors such as Zoloft slow this process, leading to higher seratonin levels in the brain. |

Zoloft Drug Interactions? |
|
| |
Do not use Zoloft if you have also used monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI) such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last two weeks. It can trigger a potentially fatal reaction. Fatal reactions are also possible when you take Zoloft with pimozide (Orap). Zoloft can trigger drug interactions with many other products, so give your doctor a complete list of medications you are using. It is not recommended to use the oral concentrate version of Zoloft if you take disulfiram (Antabuse). The alcohol in the oral Zoloft disrupts the disulfiram (Antabuse). If you plan to begin taking any new medications, talk to your doctor or pharmacist first. |
