zoloft dosage information

If the doctor prescribed that dosage, then I would trust him/her. Zoloft is typically prescribed from 50-200mg, so your son is taking a 'normal' dosage in my opinion. I was on Zoloft a couple of years ago and had no major problems coming off of it. Just ensure when it is time to come off the medication work with your doctor and taper down slowly.

Sertraline is also known as ‘Zoloft’; I was prescribed Zoloft many years ago, but didn’t continue beyond two or three months; I didn’t seem to get any benefit from it-- Bill

Ooops, I was going to briefly touch on the Sulpiride. This medication is not used here in the US, so I don't have any first hand experience with it, but I know it is an anti-psychotic medication. Again,in MY opinion...I don't care for the use of antipsychotic meds in some situations. I think they are being overly prescribed as an adjunct therapy before other options are explored.

Hi There I suffer from depression and am on 200mg Zoloft daily. I increased my dosage after giving birth to my daughter because I (of course) had antenatal depression. Every day I wake up with nervous tension and it is driving me nuts! I was wondering if this is because I am taking a high dosage of Zoloft? I am scared to go down because I don't want to be in that depressive place.

Also I have been taking a trazodone 50 mg at night and it really was a struggle to sleep when it usually knocks me out. Is it the Zoloft dosage increase?

Also keep track of when this concern started at what specific time frame and also dosage of medication and let the psychiatrist know. Any information that could be provided to them would be of help.

I then decided to start Zoloft again without consulting with my DR. I started at the dosage I was at previously which was 50 MG. I took this for 4 days and was extremely anxious and had suicidal thoughts. I went to the Dr. and he said I was experiencing this because of re-starting on too high of a dosage. He told me to stop taking it, which I did. Now it's been 5 days and I feel extremely anxious still. I spoke with my Dr.

t stand feeling like this, but the medication is helping even out my mood to some extent. Should I persist with the zoloft at this dosage and see if the side effects go away or ask my doctor to taper down? Has anyone experienced anything similar with SSRIs? How did you deal with it?

Doctors rarely start you out on such a high dosage, they prefer to start with the lowest dosage and if needed increase it with time. Also, even lay people know that you should never just stop these medications cold turkey.....bad withdrawals. Psychiatrist are the most knowledgeable when it comes to these types of medications, I would make an appt. to see one and hold off on starting such a high dosage until you speak to him.

You say you were taking Zoloft at 2Mgs a day? I didn't even know Zoloft came in such a low dosage. I used to take Zoloft at 200Mgs a day. Lowest dosage is 50mgs a day and even that dosage is too low for most people.

I have a question about my med's....I am currently on 25mg of Zoloft daily. My doctor wanted to start me off slowly so that the side effects weren't to bad. I have an appointment with her in a week and a half were we are planning on uping the dosage to 50mg/daily. I am no longer feeling sideeffects of the med's and am wonder the following: Is it safe to take 2 x 25mg of the zoloft? Rather than waiting until I go and see my doctor.

Hello, I have been on Zoloft for 21 days. I am noticing some serious ringing and a plugged feeling in my ears...... Is this the meds or do I need to go have my ears checked out. The other bothersome side effect is I don't sleep well - I'm hoping this is temporary? Has anyone had a similar experience with Zoloft?

Hi! I hope you are feeling better! I have so many questions myself and just started a small dose of Zoloft Being on it before I do know it took like two weeks to start really working. I also know that when you increase, it should be in smaller increments. I'm not a doctor but why would he have you double your dose? Yikes? Some of the side effects can cause you more worry! Believe me..... I think I have every deadly thing going on in my body right now.

Hi I was just wondering how many miligrams of zoloft and klonopin do most of you take? And how often do you take the klonopin? My doctor wants to up my medication and I'm kind of nervous about it. Also how long before the zoloft kicks in. Please answer because I think the fear of taking meds makes my anxiety worse. Thank you.

I asked my doc today at my weekly checkup if we should try to raise my adderall dosage, and she said that maybe we should try to lower my zoloft dosage instead - that might be what is causing my tiredness (when combined with the adderall). Since I've been on 100mg daily for YEARS and it works very well for me, I'm frightened to lower my zoloft dosage.

Is it safe to take one or both of these with zoloft? If so, what dosage? Also, is it safe to take zoloft while taking natural harmones ( cream)?

Personally, I was on a dosage of Zoloft for 10+ years that worked amazing for me. A year and a half ago I abruptly lowered my dosage by taking 1/3 of what I was used to. I've had problems on and off since then, with anxiety & panic returning in full force the past week. I met with my Dr. and I'm working my way back up to the dosage I used to take, to get rid of these nasty side effects of dropping my dosage abruptly.

Hi again all, Just a quick one.. gone up to 25mgs (4th day ) and have noticed 2-3hrs later I may get woozy and shaky.. though my heart rate is fine and I don't feel anxious. I am prone to low blood sugar if I don't eat which will produce the same feeling.. I did read somewhere that Zoloft can affect your blood glucose levels.. Is this a side effect of the tablets.. kinda assume it is.. not a stranger to feeling shaky..

For those of you on Zoloft, did you notice an increase in anxiety and tiredness when your dose was upped from 50mg to 75mg?
