Zoloft

I've been taking zoloft for about 3 wks. Yesterday out in sun for about 45 min. and i had this really bad sunburn. a few family members said it the zoloft i told them it is not it. can it cause you to get sunburn

I honestly have no idea. I didn't have that problem, but I also went outside as little as possible so I wouldn't know. Sorry I can't be of any help.

Don't know, ask your pharmacist or doctor, but do you have fair skin and burn easily? 45 minutes is a long time if you're not using sunblock. Sometimes people get freaked out by medications and think everything is caused by the meds when really, it's an old thing or something else. Def check with doc though.

yes it can cause sunburn

I hadn't even thought about it till this was mentioned. Without sunblock 45 minutes in the sun would definitely cook me, meds or no meds. However, I have fair skin and burn easy (tanning literally impossible without burning first) but I know it can be different for others.

There have been some reports of people being more susceptible to sunburns while using Zoloft, therefore, care should be taken to avoid using sunlamps or tanning beds, and proper sun protection should be used if you are planning out side activities with direct sun exposure... ((( hugs )))

I have a few meds I am taking that makes me limit my time in the sun or heat.
