Sertraline

Uses

Sertraline Uses Sertraline is used in the treatment of depression, anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, phobias, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

How it Works

How Sertraline Works Sertraline is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant. It functions by increasing the levels of serotonin, a chemical messenger in the brain. This enhancement improves mood and alleviates physical symptoms of depression, as well as relieving symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and anxiety.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Sertraline include insomnia (difficulty sleeping), nausea, diarrhea, tremors, abdominal pain, decreased libido, dizziness, ejaculation disorder, headache, sleepiness, agitation, and weight loss.

Expert Advice

  • Do not drive or engage in activities requiring concentration until you understand how Sertraline affects you.
  • Consult your doctor if you notice sudden mood changes or develop suicidal thoughts.
  • The potential for addiction or dependence on Sertraline is very low.
  • Inform your doctor if you experience a decrease in sex drive or difficulty achieving orgasm.
  • Do not discontinue the medication abruptly without consulting your doctor.
  • It may take 2-3 weeks for Sertraline to begin working.
  • Avoid stopping treatment suddenly, as this may lead to upset stomach, flu-like withdrawal symptoms, and sleep disturbances.
  • If your doctor recommends discontinuing Sertraline, you should gradually reduce the dose over 4 weeks.
  • Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Sertraline, as it may lead to excessive drowsiness and sedation.
