Zoloft® (sertraline hydrochloride) is a prescription medication commonly used for treating a number of conditions, including social anxiety disorder, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is a type of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor that works by balancing serotonin levels in the brain. This effect can help improve symptoms and prevent relapses. While most people tolerate Zoloft well, potential side effects include insomnia, nausea, and drowsiness.
