[|AI|]  Hello, welcome to Chat Doctor. Zoloft contain sertraline. It is a good medicine for depression. But at initiation of treatment or on dose increment patient used to have some side effects like nausea, anxiety, insomnia or restlessness, which resolve in 4-7 days. Sertraline also take 3-4 weeks to show improvement. In my opinion it is better to continue Zoloft as advised by mental health professional. Chat Doctor. 99doctor.com
