Not much, Bull. An earlier Reuters story said:

Doctors already prescribe Zoloft for post-traumatic stress,
experts said. Winning the new indication would give Pfizer more
freedom in marketing the drug but would spur only a tiny boost
from the current sales pace, analysts said.

<I wonder how much ($ sense) this approval will expand Zoloft's market?>

Probably not as much as you might think. Physician's have been using Zoloft to treat PTSD for some time now.

The literature has supported its use for awhile, and I think it is used rather widely for this syndrome.

Perhaps some of the PCP's will use it more than some of the other SSRI's, now that it has an indication.
