My husband was prescribed zoloft but he feels he isn't depressed. (possible ptsd). His mood is normal, maybe a little less confident. He's worried about what would happen if he were to keep taking it anyways. Any advice would be appreciated

With any prescription medication that you're just taking to take it does do harm to your body. You're just adding extra stress to it because your liver and other organs have to digest it and run it through your system.
Some people taking Zoloft might have some side effects. The most common Zoloft side effects are dry mouth, insomnia, sexual side effects, diarrhea, nausea, and sleepiness. Not everyone gets side effects.
Also, another side effect is a decreased sexual drive. It really depends person to person. Some people feel nothing. Some people feel everything.
Is he less confident before going on the zoloft or after? If after it would seem that it's a little bit of his mind playing games with him.
Of course talk to your doctor about all of this.

Have him ask his cp about Nefazadone. Zoloft sucks big time besides the sexual side effects it made me tired all the time, and migranes and in some people it can cause psychotic episodes

I think it is one of the antidepressants that has sexual side effects, but I'm not sure-you can look it up. I know that it can cause sleepiness too.
