Do relacore and zoloft have similar ingredients?

Question

I used to take zoloft years ago, but stopped taking it because it made gave me weird side effects. It made my hands and hair smell strange. I just started taking relacore and I think it's doing the same thing. Does anyone know if they have some common ingredients so I can find out which one it is that causes this reaction in me? Thanks.

Answer 1

No, they don't have similar ingredients, unless you react with some substance commonly used in the manufacture of tablets.

Zoloft is an antidepressant that is not in Relacore, and Relacore is a phony weight loss supplement that is not in Zoloft.  From what I can tell on the web, Relacore is a mix of vitamins and plant extracts totally unrelated to Zoloft.

Answer 2

At first glance, nothing in common. but do your research,

Answer 3

No they do not have the same ingredients.  Zoloft is a prescribed drug and Relacore is a herbal supplement.  Zoloft side effects are rash, joint pain, swelling, wrist and hand pain, breathing difficulties, swollen lymph glands.  Rare side effects: Rare side effects can affect any part of the body if taking Zoloft, but I can not see how the two can be related because of one containing herbal supplements, and one being an SSRI.
