i too had extreme burning in my stomach and esophogus! it was so bad that i considered stopping zoloft even though i have had great results. i found I can avoid almost all burning by taking it immediately after eating a full meal (dinner,for me). maybe this can help you too. good luck
I had the twirling sensation in my abdomen extreme nausea when I was on Zoloft. I had all the side effects 10 fold when I was on it. It worked for anxiety but I was unable to take it :(
Hope you feel better soon.
Hello Wmars0417. I researched and found the following numbers. Paresthesias (burning/tingling) occurred in over 2% of people taking Zoloft. (clinical trials). Indigestion was reported by up to 13 of users and abdominal pain occurred in over 2 of users (clinical trials) Regards pledge
I have been on Zoloft for awhile now. I think 3 months. No, I never experienced that. Hope you find out what is causing the burning sensation. I know that is scary and uncomfortable.
