Many drugs used to treat depression and anxiety disorders such as Zoloft have raised concerns for many consumers taking the drugs. Zoloft is in a class of drugs called Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI). The Food and Drug Administration issued a warning to pregnant woman who used or are using the Zoloft anti-depressant drug. Some side effects reported include hypertension to newborn babies, heart defects. Also, other side effects reported from consumers taking the drug such as anger, up and down behavior, rapid heartbeat, headaches and the list goes on. Despite the warnings issued by the FDA to Doctors, the drug continues to be prescribed. If you are taking Zoloft or any other anti-depressant drug and either you or your child has suffered from side affects you should contact your doctor right away. Consider professional advice from a Zoloft birth defect lawyer if side effects have cause you or your child pain and suffering.

The amount of complaints being filed by consumers that have taken Zoloft in the past especially during pregnancy is alarming. Multiple studies have found that taking Zoloft during pregnancy can increase the risk of serious heart defects or other Zoloft birth defects. If you used Zoloft before pregnancy or during pregnancy and gave birth to a child with birth defects, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit.  The birth defects being reported in the United States alone is alarming. However, if you suffer from severe depression you should also be careful not to quit Zoloft cold turkey. The consequences of suddenly quitting can also be harmful. Speak to your doctor prescribing the drug about dosage adjustments and other possible alternative choices.

Drug manufacturing companies are responsible for the safety of their medications. They should also be held accountable for side effects being reported from consumers. The question still stands “Why is Zoloft Still in the Market Today?” A Zoloft lawyer can discuss with you the benefits of filing a lawsuit against Pfizer the makers of these drugs. If you have suffered from side effects from Wellbutrin or Zoloft don’t delay in taking action. Your health and the health of your unborn child could be at stake if continued use of this medication especially while pregnant or nursing. Don’t you deserve to know the truth about medications being prescribed by your doctor? Consult with your doctor right away as it is your right and the right of your unborn child.
