I have a patient who is well managed on Zoloft 150 mg
every day...major complaint is that he has a persistent
bad taste in his mouth. Any ideas for management of
this side effect?

I found Zoloft dehydrating, which I suppose might cause a bad taste due to decreased saliva.

In fact, a foul taste in your mouth is a sign of insufficient fluid intake.
