It is being given to a lot of our troops and veterans. The problems are too many to count but for this post, two things stand out. This website is offering Zoloft to anyone without a prescription and that is a dangerous thing. Once you read the warnings on this site, that is very clear.

The other issue is that since the DOD is giving it to the troops, this warning screams out!

This medicine may cause drowsiness. Do not drive, operate machinery, or do anything else that could be dangerous until you know how you react to this medicine. Using this medicine alone, with other medicines, or with alcohol may lessen your ability to drive or to perform other potentially dangerous tasks.


Would anyone in their right mind give this drug to soldiers in Afghanistan or Iraq when they need to stay alert? Would anyone in their right mind think the warning about "dangerous tasks" should be taken seriously when we're talking about combat?

  1. A Randomized, double-blind comparision of sertraline (=zoloft) and placebo for posttraumatic stress disorder (=PTSD) in a Department of Veterans Affairs setting, by Friedman M.J. et al, concluded that Sertraline was NOT DEMONSTRATED TO BE EFFICACIOUS in the treatment of PTSD in the VA clinic settings ...

    The FDA holds back similar studies
    done by PFIZER from 1999. These results are not for profit and not welcome being one reason not to publish.

    Of course you can get all the side-effects of sertraline.

    Sertraline is meant to influence the brain by providing more serotonine, which is a neurotransmitter.

    However, by homeostasis the numbers of neuroreceptor will increase or decrease by an increase or decrease of the amount of serotonine. The decreased receptors never come back and so an early Alzheimer might occur.
