sertraline vs. zoloft
by jtl712, Jan 28, 2008 12:39PM
I used to be on zoloft for 4 yrs and felt good...stopped for 6 months and on my 3rd week of sertraline right now not feeling as good the first time around. Is there a difference with the two drugs?

no difference. just the name. i have heard however, that sometimes the same antidepressant used for a second time after a break may be less effective. this was told to me by a physician though another physician suggested otherwise.

My doctor told me that Sertraline and Zoloft both have the same ingredients but the pharmacutical companies can make them differently. I too notice a difference in how I feel taking Zoloft vs. Sertraline. I like Sertraline better though because I don't feel as numbed out and my sex drive is not affected.
