Serotonin syndrome and/or a prolonged heart QT interval can occur with using SSRIs (such as citalopram, paroxetine, or sertraline) with SNRIs, SRAs (such as MDMA), DXM, serotonergic stimulants (such as cocaine), MAOIs, and RIMAs.
It is strongly discouraged to consume moderate to heavy dosages of these substances together.
Sertraline (also known as Zoloft) is a widely-known SSRI substance and pharmaceutical of the substituted tametraline chemical class that produces anxiolytic and antidepressive effects when administered. Sertraline is primarily prescribed for major depressive disorder in adult outpatients as well as obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety disorder, in both adults and children.
Chemistry
Sertraline is a substituted tametraline.
Pharmacology
Sertraline is a selective reuptake inhibitor of serotonin; this allows sertraline to increase levels of extracellular serotonin, meaning that more serotonin comes into the brain. Sertraline is used for depression because it is hypothesized that people with depression have low serotonin levels.
Sertraline promotes neurogenesis (the growth of neurons). This is a useful property in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Huntington's disease.[1][2][3]
Its metabolite, norsertraline, also inhibits reuptake of serotonin, but more weakly than sertraline. [4][5]
Subjective effects
Physical effects
- Orgasm suppression
- Sedation - Sertraline is somewhat sedating or tiring.
- Increased perspiration
Cognitive effects
- Anxiety suppression - Sertraline is used clinically to reduce levels of anxiety in those with anxiety disorders.
- Suicidal ideation - Sertraline and other SSRIs can cause suicidal ideation.[6]
- Focus suppression
