Zoloft dosage strengths

Common Questions and Answers about Zoloft dosage strengths

zoloft

Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn I like using herbs myself and will share my list below for the anxiety you talk about. Hope it helps...they did...do for me. The herb Valerian root (Valeriana officinalis) is used as a sedative on the nervous system and a relaxant for the muscles (Reader's Digest, 2009, Pp128). It also helps with headaches, which can sometimes be a result of an anxiety attack. According to Mosby's the recommended dosage of Valerian extract is 400-900mg, before bedtime (2010, Pp592).
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn Hi Please remember that Eltroxin only contains thyroxine (T4 hormone) at different strengths BUT Diotroxin contains thyroxine sodium 90 micrograms and liothyronine sodium 10 micrograms (T4 and T3 hormones). As far as I know Diotroxin comes in one strength only. Please keep an eye on your T3 levels. Ask for them to be tested as well when you test your thyroid levels.
Business woman2 25, 37.5, 50, 75, and 100. Also, the extended release forms of Venlafaxine capsules come in many strengths too: 37.5, 75, and 150. Most of the tablet forms will contain Lactose and Gluten. Some of the extended release capsules do not contain neither Gluten nor Lactose. It will help me very much, if I know the dosage form and strength. We might be able to find you a supplier that do not use Lactose and Gluten in its Venlafaxine. Thanks and be well.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
630047 tn?1289248521 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.
9266905 tn?1402808881 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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)?
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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..
Avatar f tn For those of you on Zoloft, did you notice an increase in anxiety and tiredness when your dose was upped from 50mg to 75mg?
Avatar n tn I too am on 175 - 200mg of Zoloft and I admit when first starting the medication I was feeling quite dizzy and nauseated. Dosage started at 50mg, then after a week increased, and every week increased until I reached 175mg. In the past my doctor has had me on Celexa and Effexor but Zoloft seems to work the best, for me that is. Everyone is different. I waver between 175 - 200mg depending on the kind of day I'm having.
Avatar n tn 200 mg/5 ml, 250 mg/5ml and 400 mg/5ml. The strengths reflect the amount of the drug in 5 ml, or 1 tsp., of the suspension. A child who takes 5 ml of the 250mg/5ml dose, for example, is receiving 250 mg of amoxicillin. The recommended pediatric dosage varies from 25 mg/kg per day to 45 mg/kg per day, depending on the underlying infection, according to Rx List. The suspension should be shaken well and measured with a marked measuring spoon to ensure that the right dose is given.
