Hello
How much is at risk of serotonic syndrome by taking Zoloft 50 mg one tablet a day for two months? And whether this drug has any significant effect on blood pressure. With a rather low blood pressure of 90/60, 100/70 and a pulse of 60-70.
I will be grateful for an honest answer to my question

The risk of serotonin syndrome during treatment with Zoloft (sertraline) 50 mg/day is low, but cannot be completely ruled out. Sertraline may cause a slight, temporary increase in blood pressure, especially at the beginning of treatment, but in patients with baseline low blood pressure, as in your case, it is unlikely to cause a further decrease in blood pressure. Blood pressure should be monitored closely and any disturbing changes should be reported to the doctor, especially at the beginning of therapy.
If you have doubts about this situation, it is always worth consulting a doctor who can provide more personalized advice. If you are not able to make a face-to-face visit, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation:
