  • Generic name: Sertraline
  • Brand name: Zoloft, Lustral
  • Class: Antidepressant, Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor

Do you want the strongest possible antidepressant for depression or the one that is least likely to cause side effects?

You probably know already that all antidepressants are not created equal. And if you consider buying Zoloft or Sertraline, there is evidence-based, unbiased proof that it is a worthy prescription choice.

Recently researchers analyzed and compared 12 new-generation antidepressants1. They found out that the most effective and best tolerated as first-line treatments are sertraline (Zoloft) and escitalopram (Lexapro). So if you are looking for some balance you may talk with your doctor about prescription for Zoloft.

Sertraline was found to be more effective than duloxetine by 30%, fluoxetine by 25%, and paroxetine by 25%. However, the findings don't mean that everyone should start from Zoloft.
