Zoloft-Red eyes

I have been experiencing panic disorder and my doctor has me on 50mg of zoloft per day.  I have noticied that my eyes are constantly bloodshot and visine does not even clear them up.  Is this a common side effect of this drug?

No it is not a common side effect...but you should be sure to ask your doctor about this...and read the package insert to see if this is a rare side effect.
