Did you bruise while taking zoloft? This
is only my 10th day taking it, and I have
bruises on my legs. I understand that
zoloft could be causing this. When you
stopped taking zoloft, did the bruising
problem go away?

Its odd I see this topic. When I was on
lexapro and wellbutrin I had tons of
bruises. To this day I don't know where
they came from. They got quite bad too.
I couldn't even wear shorts when
springtime came around.

Jeeperjo: I guess either the lexapro or
wellbutrin deactivates platelets just like
zoloft seems to be doing.
Anyone have this experience with zoloft?

I had the easy bruising with lexapro too
but it went away right after I stopped
taking it.

I asked my doctor about if zoloft could be
causing my easy bruising, she said no.
Lol. I dont believe that. I've read a
lot about ppl bruising while on these
types of meds.

Oh my god!! I have had these unexplained
bruises all over my legs and have had no
idea why! I am on lexapro, but never
thought that could be causing it. Why do
antidepressents do that??

I was covered in bruises from zoloft.
Everyone reacts differently to
medications. My doctor told me that she
had heard of this before and it was an
allergic reaction I was having. I went
off it, and the bruises went away. There
is no doubt in my mind that it was from
the zoloft. When I say covered in
bruises, I mean I had bruises all over my
legs and even my arms and back.
