The Health Risks of Zoloft

Zoloft was released by Pfizer in 1991 and has become one of the most popular antidepressant medications of all time.  In 2007 alone, almost 30 million prescriptions for Zoloft were written in the Unites States.

Zoloft has been regarded as an effective treatment for major depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, panic disorder, and social anxiety disorder.  However, it has recently been linked to severe birth injuries in the infants of mothers taking the drug during pregnancy.
