Sertraline antidepressants may cause side effects such as nausea, insomnia, and sexual dysfunction. Compared to other types of antidepressants, sertraline is generally well-tolerated and has fewer side effects. However, individual responses to medications can vary, so it's important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the best treatment option.
How do antidepressants work like Prozac?
If you are depressed, it makes you feel normal again, but it takes 3-5 weeks to kick in.

What foods help SSRIs?
As far as I know, food has minimal impact on SSRIs, if at all. If you are not satisfied with the results of your SSRIs, ask your doctor to either increase dosage or try other agent.
Tricyclic antidepressants compared to selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors?
Tricyclics are more potent antidepressants compared to the newer SSRIs. The reason SSRIs tend to be prescribed more, however, is because tricyclics are less well tolerated due to their antimuscarinic effects, such as: dryness of mouth, constipation, dizziness, abnormal heart rhythm, blurred vision and urinary retention. Trycyclics cannot be given to people with with hypotension or heart problems. SSRIs generally have a longer half life (15-50 hrs vs. 12-32 hrs for trycyclics) and do not require as high a concentration in the blood as tricyclics for their therapeutic effect.
Which medications are used for those with post-traumatic stress disorder?
Anxiety-reducing medications (benzodiazepines) and antidepressants, especially the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as fluoxetine (Prozac) and sertraline HCl (Zoloft).
Is Prozac a barbiturate?
No, it is not, Prozac, or Fluoxetine (not to be confused with Fluvoxamine / Brand Name - Luvox) is in a class of drugs known as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors or SSRIs (Paxil, Zoloft, Lexapro, etc.). These drugs are most commonly prescribed as antidepressants. I have found that most doctors are quick to prescribe SSRIs & probably wouldn't hesitate to if you asked for one of them. Because the level of abuse with SSRIs is much lower than with many other drugs, doctors don't seem to encourage the extra caution as they might with other drugs such as Xanax, Loratab, Oxycontin, etc. However, many people seem to believe the withdraw from discontinuing the use of SSRIs can be just as bad as & maybe worse than with some of those & many other drugs . . . http://www.drugs.com/prozac.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_serotonin_reuptake_inhibitor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoxetine
Is clonodine an ssri?
No, clonidine is not an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor). Clonidine is an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist primarily used to treat high blood pressure and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). SSRIs, on the other hand, are a class of antidepressants that work by increasing serotonin levels in the brain.
