Zoloft Side Effects: Akathisia and Violent BehaviorWritten by Margaret Wommack
Zoloft is an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor); a prescription drug that combats depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), as well as other various problems. SSRIs work by allowing more serotonin to be released through brain. Seratonin is a brain chemical associated with happiness. Between nerve endings in brain, there are synapses. All signals in brain are transmitted through chemicals being produced then absorbed by one nerve and another. When these chemicals are released they are either taken in by next nerve or nerve that released them will re-absorb them and signal doesn’t pass. Some antidepressants work by blocking reuptake of Seratonin by releasing nerve. That means that more Seratonin stays in synapse in hope that it will be absorbed by new nerve which, in case of Seratonin, would continue signal of happiness.
