    This question would best be answered by a psychiatrist as they have the expertise to also be able to adjust them to minimise side-effects while maximise therapeutic effects - although not always to the outcome one might want. You could also speak to your pharmacist, while they cannot change your medications, they perhaps have the greatest knowledge of how medications effect us including interactions.

    A quick search on-line does suggest that Sertraline (Zoloft) is sedating for some.
