Hello
Thanks for writing to us about your health concern.
Hair loss is a common side effect of Zoloft.
If you really think you are experiencing hair loss after taking Zoloft, then I would suggest you to go to your doctor and ask for another safe alternative. Do not stop taking it on your own. You need to taper off the medication, under your doctor's supervision, to avoid serious side effects.
Thanks
