I'm taking 50mg of zoloft for PPD and anxiety/panic attacks...I have 2 weird side effects that weren't listed and not sure if they are ok or not...dilated pupils and profuse sweating. Anybody else experience this? Thanks..

Both dilated pupils and sweating can be side effects of AD's. They should subside with time. I would put a call in to your doc and just let them know you are having these side effects and he can decide whether or not to keep you on them. But I do know of people having the same symptoms you mentioned and being fine within a few weeks.

I have been taking Zoloft 50mgs for about a year now. I had dilated pupils for the first few weeks that I was on it. It freaked me out really bad too but it didn't hurt me I just looked funny! It takes a while for the zoloft to get in your system so you will probably have some weird side effects. It reacts to everyone differently. I am so happy that I stuck it out. It has helped me so much. If you have any questions please ask. Good luck!

I was prescribed Zoloft 50mg about 6 months ago. I got the pills finally but I am afraid to take it because I did read the label about side effects. Can anyone put my mind at ease? I really want to take them for my OCD and anxiety, but I hear so much bad about all of these meds it makes me afraid even more. I did hear that sweating and dilated pupils were fairly common side effects.

I never had any problems with zoloft and no side effects that I can recall. No sweating or problems with my pupils. I never read the side effects for zoloft because I knew that the minute I did I would suddenly be experiencing every symptom they listed. Zoloft gave me my life back and I resisted taking anything for several years before I finally went on it and then thought "Why did I wait so long?"

Paxton, I've been taking Zoloft for one week, how long did it take before you felt better. Also, what dosage are you taking.

Jenbepositive, How long did it take for the side effects to go away and how long did it take for the Zoloft to kick in?
