Drug Overview: Zoloft Side Effects and Claims

Zoloft, manufactured by Pfizer, Inc., is one of a group of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which increase levels of serotonin in the brain. The Zoloft claim is that these increased levels of serotonin are effective in treating a list of disorders. Zoloft has been approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) to treat patients over 18 years old for depression, social anxiety disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Zoloft is FDA-approved to treat patients 6-17 years old for obsessive-compulsive disorder only.

Suffered harm from Zoloft? You may have a lawsuit. Click here, for a top rated law firm to evaluate your legal rights.

Physicians often prescribe Zoloft to treat depression in children under 18 in spite of the lack of FDA approval or studies proving the effectiveness of this treatment. The FDA has issued a number of alerts and warnings over the past few years in response to studies linking an increase in suicidal thinking and behaviors in both adults, adolescents and children to the use of Zoloft. Other Zoloft side effects continue to raise concerns amongst doctors, researchers, adult patients, parents of young patients, and the FDA.

Was Zoloft approved by FDA? Why was it prescribed? What are the adverse side effects of taking Zoloft?

It seems that everyone knows that Zoloft causes increased suicidal tendencies in both adults and children. Can’t I just negotiate a settlement on my own instead of going to an attorney? Or would there be a benefit to joining a class action in my case?

Are there any special considerations in a case involving Zoloft?

What are the major legal issues involved in a case when someone has attempted suicide while on Zoloft?

What defenses are Pfizer and/or my doctor likely to use?

What types of damages are available in a case involving a suicide or suicide attempt while on Zoloft?

My child’s doctor prescribed Zoloft for her to treat her depression. While on the drug, she became extremely agitated and, a week later, attempted suicide. We believe her use of Zoloft led to her suicide attempt. How do we prove this?

My husband was taking Zoloft but decided to quit taking it without talking to his doctor because he was getting so agitated. After he stopped taking the drug, he committed suicide. Can we prove that the drug caused him to do this? Will our damages be reduced because he quit taking the drug on his own?
