All three drugs may cause blurred vision, double vision and other vision disturbances. On top of that, there are many more other possible side effects taking these drugs.

The following paragraphs lists the possible side effects of each drug, and the consequences of Imitrex and zoloft interaction for reference.

Imitrex and Zoloft interacts strongly with each other. In general, the concomitant use of multiple serotonergic agents should be avoided if possible, or otherwise approached with caution if potential benefit is deemed to outweigh the risk. Signs and symptoms of interaction of these two drugs includes CNS irritability, altered consciousness, confusion, myoclonus, ataxia, abdominal cramping, hyperpyrexia, shivering, pupillary dilation, diaphoresis, hypertension, and tachycardia and the risk of serotonin syndrome, which is a rare but serious and potentially fatal condition thought to result from hyperstimulation of brainstem 5-HT1A receptors.
