Get a sertraline (generic Zoloft) prescription online for depression, anxiety, and more.

Sertraline is a prescription antidepressant medication.

Sertraline is used to treat depression because it increases the amount of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a chemical that the body produces to transmit messages between nerves. It’s thought to play an important role in regulating certain emotional behavior, like anxiety and aggression. Having the proper amount of serotonin available in your brain stabilizes your mood and makes you feel happy.

The CDC estimates that almost 19% of Americans exhibited some symptoms of depression in 2019. Often caused by chemical imbalances in the brain, depression is characterized by a persistently depressed mood and a loss of interest in your passions and hobbies.

The most common side effects while using sertraline include nausea, diarrhea, dry mouth, insomnia, dizziness, fatigue, and drowsiness. Tell your doctor if you have any side effects that bother you or that do not go away. While rare, some side effects can be serious. Call your doctor right away if you experience seizures, abnormal bleeding or bruising, hallucinations, fever, confusion, fast heartbeat, shivering, severe muscle stiffness or twitching, loss of coordination, vomiting, rash, hives, or trouble breathing.

This is not a complete list of possible side effects of sertraline. For more information, visit the National Institutes of Health’s DailyMed webpage.

WARNING: In short-term studies of major depressive disorder (MDD) and other psychiatric disorders, antidepressants showed an increased risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in children, adolescents, and young adults compared to placebo. Depression and certain other psychiatric disorders are themselves associated with increases in the risk of suicide. Patients of all ages who are started on antidepressant therapy should be monitored appropriately and observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior.

If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, please immediately call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255 or 911.

You may see improvements in your sleep, energy, and appetite within the first 1-2 weeks of taking sertraline. However, it usually takes 4-6 weeks to feel the full effects of Sertraline.

Depression, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive disorder can be recurrent conditions. It is important to take sertraline for as long as your doctor prescribes it. If you stop taking sertraline too soon, your symptoms may return. Do not stop taking sertraline without talking to your doctor.

The usual starting dose for sertraline is 25 mg or 50 mg depending on the condition being treated. If the desired result is not achieved at this dosage, the doctor may increase the dosage in one to two-week intervals until an adequate response is achieved.

Sertraline is available in the United States in tablet, capsule, and liquid form and is generally taken once a day, either in the morning or evening. It can be taken with or without food. Use only as directed by your doctor or pharmacist.

Sertraline Hcl is currently only available via prescription. This means the use of this drug must be authorized by a licensed health care provider.
