Medicines do have some side effects which are not uniformly experienced by all, which makes it difficult for a Psychiatrist to select one. Sertraline is otherwise a very safe medicine but if you are experiencing any undue side effects then please consult your psychiatrist to either reduce the dose or change the medicine altogether after a clinical evaluation.

Sometimes this can happen with sertraline. What dose of sertraline are you on ? Either your dose needs to be reduced or your medicines will have to be changed.
Please see your Psychiatrist in person or online.
Next Steps
Skip the dose of Zosert and consult a psychiatrist
