Individuals who have suffered a Zoloft injury may be eligible to seek relief for their losses through a civil personal injury, or tort, lawsuit. People with a Zoloft injury may be able to receive compensation for their medical expenses, loss of income, and psychological damages. A Zoloft injury is caused by the side effects of using this SSRI (selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor) anti-depressant or withdrawal from this prescription medication.

Zoloft was approved by the FDA in 1992 to treat the adverse psychological symptoms of depression, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and post traumatic stress disorder. Zoloft injury can actually worsen the symptoms this drug in intended to improve. Patients taking Zoloft should be monitored for symptoms including anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, irritability, hostility, mania, and severe restlessness. These types of Zoloft injury can lead to depression and suicidal or aggressive thoughts or behaviors. Patients should be carefully monitored for Zoloft injury when beginning treatment or making any changes to their dosage.

In addition to increasing a patient’s risk of suffering a psychological Zoloft injury, Zoloft use has also been associated with adverse cardiovascular events, sexual dysfunction, and drug interactions. There are a number of drugs, that when taken in conjunction with Zoloft, can cause a Zoloft injury. Patients who are taking Zoloft should speak to their doctor if they have recently taken any of the following medications: MAO inhibitors, Pimozide, CNS-activating medications, and other SSRI antidepressants. Patients who are considering or currently using Zoloft should speak to their medical professional about their current medication and supplement use in order to avoid Zoloft injury.

Zoloft injury can also be the result of adverse withdrawal symptoms. Zoloft is an addictive prescription drug. The body gets used to the presence of this drug and becomes dependant on it. When a patient attempts to terminate their treatment they may suffer a Zoloft injury. Adverse symptoms that may accompany a Zoloft withdrawal include: the development of flu-like symptoms, dizziness, nightmares, aggression, irritability, insomnia, nausea, seizures, and in some cases an internal sensation of jolting “zaps” throughout the body. Individuals who suffer severe Zoloft injury withdrawal symptoms should be carefully monitored for any signs of suicidal or aggressive behaviors.

Because of the serious threat of Zoloft injury, the FDA has required that Pfizer (Zoloft’s maker) add a “black box” warning to all product information. This action is a response to the federal agency’s investigation into the threat of Zoloft injury. The FDA studies concluded that Zoloft use increases the risk of suicidal behavior in children by as much as three percent or more. The “black box” warning is the FDA’s strongest warning system.

Patients who take this anti-depressant should be carefully monitored for signs of Zoloft injury at all times during treatment. If you or a loved one has suffered a Zoloft injury, you may wish to contact a qualified and experienced legal professional who can advise you of your rights and options in a lawsuit to receive compensation for your losses.
