I took 175mg for about 8 months (and other doses for varying lengths).
I had side effects. Zoloft made me suicidal and, apathetic. It gave me mood swings, and strange dark moods (which I never got on citalopram). It increased carbohydrate cravings. It made it hard to sit still (akathesia), insomnia (on over 100mg). Sertaline also made me paranoid (which other SSRI's did not - dopamine reuptake inhibition??). Sertaline also messed up my ballance more than other SSRI's.
Here is a study of SSRI's and risks for cholesterol and obdomnial obesity.

I think sertaline has few side effects, but (like most SSRI's) its not much better than placebo for lifting moods.
