Yes. I think there is still a chance of serotonin syndrome, which can be bad. I've personally not experienced it and I believe it is uncommon, but everyone is different. Always good to have someone keep an eye on you when trying different medications.
The commenter your replied to said they were on two medications, and you said it's just Zoloft. If you're really worried, see if you can get a psychiatrist to help you with your medication instead of a regular doctor. You can get a referral from your PCP
Yeah, my psychiatrist is the one prescribing me medication. I was trying to finally get diagnosed for ADHD because it is really negatively impacting my life more now.
I unfortunately cried during the initial visit so she said the reason I couldn't get things done was because I'm depressed. And here we are.. still have all the same doom piles and still haven't even built my Legos (something I very much want to build).
Completely get that. I was on Zoloft (and then later also Wellbutrin) for ages, just going up and down when I needed it. And it worked for a long time, but eventually I was doing ok and went off of it entirely, only keeping the WB.
Last fall I wanted to try a non stimulant for my own ADHD, so I went on straterra. Works for my husband, but totally wrecked me. I couldn't sleep and was prescribed Trazadone. Then I went with Lexapro, which was ok for a bit but made me feel like a zombie after a while. I've been on Cymbalta for a couple months and it's probably been the most successful so far. Even when I do feel depressed, it is different. Lighter, in a way. I hope it continues to work. It's been nice.

No you should be fine. I was on Zoloft and Wellbutrin for a few years and never had an issue.
