Frequently Asked Questions
Is sertraline the same as Zoloft?
Yes — sertraline is the generic form of Zoloft. It has been generic since 2006 and costs $8–$15/month versus $250–$300 for brand Zoloft.
What conditions is sertraline approved for?
Sertraline has the broadest FDA approval of any SSRI — major depression, OCD, panic disorder, PTSD, social anxiety disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
Is sertraline or escitalopram better tolerated?
Both are among the best-tolerated SSRIs. Escitalopram has fewer drug interactions (less CYP inhibition); sertraline is considered slightly more likely to cause initial GI symptoms. Individual tolerability varies.
How long does it take for sertraline to work for anxiety?
Anxiety reduction typically begins at 2–4 weeks; full benefit for anxiety disorders (especially OCD and PTSD) may take 8–12 weeks. Do not discontinue early based on partial response.
