Zoloft side effect- please help!

Posted by Wendy S. on July 25, 2000, at 22:27:37


Has anyone who has taken Zoloft or another SSRI experienced a swelling of the sinuses and upper part of the throat? I have taken Prozac for the last 6 months and experienced this swelling on and off, and decided to try Zoloft to see if that would alleviate the problem. I have now been taking Zoloft for about a week, and the swelling feels worse. It almost feels as though my sinuses are swollen shut and my head feels very heavy, but it does not impair my breathing at all, and I never have a headache with the swelling. I thought that I might have a slight allergy to the drug and I have tried Claritin and Zyrtec, which also did not help. Has anyone experienced or heard of this side effect? Is there anything that can be done about it? I really feel that the Zoloft is helping me more than any other drug that I have tried, and I would rather try and treat the side effect than to search for yet another med!
