Hello I need some help regarding me taking zoloft in the capsule form. When I swallow the capsule my stomach really starts hurting about 45 minutes to 1 hour latter and lasts for a good time. Do you know why this is happening? Could I perhaps avoid this pain by emptying the contents of the capsule in water and drinking the powder but discarding the capsule that the powder is in? Thank you

Nausea is a side effect of zoloft, however this board is not for medical advice. I will tell you to never break open a capsule, and you should consult your physician/pharmacist regarding your problems with the medication.
Good luck!
Since when does Zoloft come in a capsule?
Yeah I was about to say... I've never seen a Zoloft capsule.

I assumed it was a tablet but she didn't know the difference 😉
Yep - since this is may not be your first post about altering a dosage form for an SSRI - I'd encourage you again to talk with your health provider about how your medication is affecting you. Often the first drug and dose may not be the right one, but it is important you share how you feel & how you feel the medication is working with the one who is prescribing it. Are you reluctant or does it just appear to those of us who read your posts as reluctant? I'd encourage you to be open and trust your health provider. Good luck!

Umm yeah cuz all we learn in pharmacy school is whether each med comes in tablet or capsule form.
Please! That's knowledge you got from being a slave technician for years. You do NOT learn that in pharmacy school.
Closing, as the OP is asking for medical advice. Please do not continue to use the forums as an arena to ask these sorts of questions, as it can jeopardize your account status. You should consult your personal medical provider for all personal medical advice.
Thanks. 🙂
Thanks. 🙂
