The exact mechanism of Zoloft is unknown, but it is believed to increase the extracellular level of the neurotransmitter serotonin by limiting its reabsorption into the presynaptic cell.

What are the ide effects from taking tramadol and Zoloft at the same time?

Zoloft is an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor). Tramadol is a painkiller with SNRI (serotonin and noadrenalin reuptake inhibitor) properties. This means that both Zoloft and tramadol have an effect on the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain. This can result in too much serotonin in the brain. This is called Serotonin Syndrom, a very dangerous condition. Never mix multiple drugs that affect serotonin.
