If you accidentally miss your dose of Sertraline, take the dose as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for your next dose (within 2 hours), skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the usual time. If you've just started Zoloft, ensure you keep time of day in mind as it has been associated with insomnia while getting started.
Sertraline (Zoloft®) may be taken with or without food.
During pregnancy: Sertraline is considered to be one of the safest options during pregnancy, but risks may still exist.
While breastfeeding: Sertraline is generally considered to be safe to use while breastfeeding, with low levels of the drug found in human milk during studies.
It’s important to treat mental health-related conditions when pregnant or nursing, as untreated depression, anxiety, or other mental illness can harm both you and baby. Always let your provider know if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, so you can discuss the risks and benefits of starting or continuing Sertraline.
It’s recommended to avoid or limit the use of alcohol when taking Sertraline. Alcohol can intensify the side effects of sertraline, including dizziness and sleepiness.
