Zoloft

Zoloft, an antidepressant manufactured by Pfizer, is prescribed to people diagnosed with depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder.

While Zoloft may alleviate some of those symptoms, the drug is linked to serious and dangerous side effects, including an increased risk of heart attacks.

Zoloft is part of a class of drugs known as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs). These drugs are designed to raise or restore serotonin levels, thus relieving depression. Researchers, however, have linked SSRIs to an increased risk of Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN).

Other drugs in the SSRI class include:

• Prozac
• Paxil
• Symbyax
• Celexa
• Cymbalta
• Effexor
• Lexapro
