Zoloft and Pregnancy

Since Zoloft is an SSRI antidepressant, it can have some serious and life-threatening side effects in newborn babies. One of the common issues witnessed in such cases is lung problems in babies whose mother had consumed Zoloft after conceiving.

Your depression might revert back to its prior phase if you stop taking Zoloft at the time of pregnancy. It is recommended to consult your doctor immediately, if you become pregnant during the course of this treatment.

Talk to your doctor about the consequences of pregnancy with Zoloft. There is not much information available to support the theory of whether or not Zoloft passes through breast milk. It is advised not to breast feed your baby if your taking Zoloft unless recommended by your doctor.
