I just started taking 50 mg of Zoloft and I have been feeling drozy, tinglies throughout my arms, my throat feels very strange almost like its kinda difficult to breathing.
I'm been informed that these can be typical side effects, but how long is it normal for them to last??

Hello,

You need to call your doctor and advise him or her that this is affecting your throat & produces a feeling of having difficulty breathing as this is the sign of an allergic reaction that Zoloft can cause.

It may well be that your doctor will decide to change your prescription to another medication.

Here is some info, let me know if you have questions:
