Question
my wife has been on 100mg A dayof zoloft for about 4 years. In recent months we've both noticed a drop in motivation, severe bouts of depression and radical mood swings as well as a disrupted sleep pattern, (some nights she can't sleep, and others she can't get enough sleep). I was wondering if you knew of any long term effects from Zoloft? We are both thinking the drug might be having this effect on her.
Thank you
Hi Eric,
I have not seen what you describe as being a result of Zoloft. There may be a change in her condition or some other underlying condition such as hormonal changes. Your wife needs to see her doctor for assessment.
Thank you for using Allexperts
Sincerely,
Eric Brandt, B.Sc. Pharm
