Today, it should be quite unusual to find a significant number of people taking Zoloft and one of the TCAs. But, if you are one of these people, you should stop taking the TCA right now. So let us be absolutely clear on the message here. There is no link in this research between Zoloft and diabetes. Indeed, in the literature, there is a considerable body of evidence to show that the link is more certainly between a depressive illness and diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, etc. The reason is scientific confirmation of a common sense or intuitive truth. That people who are depressed do not look after themselves with the same care and attention as “healthy” people. They lack the motivation to exercise. They eat comfort food and put on weight. This increases the risk factors for diabetes and heart attacks. So, there is no need to change from Zoloft on the basis of this research, but you still have to watch out for Emperor Zoloft and his hungry-for-hamsters evil empire.
