Sertraline must not be used with MAO inhibitors, including isocarboxazid, linezolid, methylene blue, phenelzine, selegiline and tranylcypromine, or within two weeks of stopping them. It must also not be used by anyone with hypersensitivity to it or with pimozide. Treatment needs monitoring for worsening mood or suicidal ideation. Do not stop suddenly; withdrawal can include nausea, sweating, mood changes, dizziness, confusion, seizures and difficulty sleeping. Serotonin syndrome is rare but serious; it causes a fast heartbeat, sweating, shaking, muscle twitching and confusion or agitation, and needs immediate medical attention. Anaphylaxis can cause a swollen throat or tongue, raised itchy rash and difficulty breathing. Other side effects include nausea, diarrhoea, insomnia, dizziness, somnolence and sexual dysfunction. Alcohol, St John’s wort and aspirin can interact. Use in pregnancy only if expected benefit outweighs fetal risk; use in breastfeeding with caution and monitor the infant. Caution is advised in epilepsy and in adolescents.
