Good morning Daughter for half a year I have been running Zoloft 2.5 tablets currently. Recently she has trouble sleeping, palpitations and muscle bule at night, shortness of breath, Can I still give her some over-the-counter supportive drug for better sleep.

I encourage you to consult your doctor. The combined administration of central nervous system inhibitors (over-the-counter calmers) may increase the risk of side effects after Zoloft. I encourage you to read additional opinions on a similar topic: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/10517/sertralina-czy-w-czasie-leczenia-preparatem-zoloft-mozna-przyjmowac-ziolowe-lek https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/14695/zotral-czy-przy-stosowaniu-leku-zotral-mozna-pic-dodatkowo-melise The second opinion concerns the drug Zotral, which contains the same active substance as Zoloft. However, I encourage you to pay attention to the fact that one of the side effects of Zoloft is, for example, the occurrence of nightmares, palpitations, shortness of breath. This can cause the described sleep problems in the daughter: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/86304/zoloft-tabletki-powlekane/ulotka/71930 I encourage you to report the occurrence of side effects to the attending physician. You can also report the occurrence of side effects of the preparation yourself. Reporting side effects allows you to increase control over medicines available on the market. We wrote about how and why to report side effects in the article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-i-dlaczego-zglaszac-dzialania-niepozadane
