Hi! linda!
TD is most common with the use of antipsychotic medications but some studies have shown that antidepressants can rarely have this side effect. It must be very low because I couldn't find anything that gave the percentage of users affected.
Just for comparison sake, Zyprexa is an antipsychotic that's notorious for causing TD and this side effect is uncommon affecting only 0.1-1% of users. Zoloft's percentage would be less than that.
Best regards. I hope this has helped you some.
