Can you drink on zoloft?
According to the Zoloft(r) (sertraline hydrochloride) prescribing information, drinking alcohol while taking Zoloft is not recommended. The medication and alcohol both act upon similar chemicals in the brain. So the concern is that Zoloft will increase the effects of alcohol -- whether this is increasing depression symptoms or affecting motor skills. ChaCha again!
