Has anyone here taken zoloft and if so, what is your opinion of it? My doctor just prescribed it and I read the info that came with the prescription and it scares me. In rare cases it can cause something called "seratonin syndrome" and can be fatal. I am VERY sensitive to meds and whenever there is a list of side effects - I am the person who gets them all. I just want to hear from others who have taken zoloft. What it helpful? did you have side effects?
