Hi all!  Today is Day 7 of Zoloft.  I switched from Prozac because I started to feel worse than I had ever felt before.  My dr had me stop immediately and then I started 25 mg of Zoloft.  I’m wondering when is a good time to up the dosage?  I’m still feeling anxious...

      Yes my constant panicking stopped. Also I am only on day 2 of 200mg and this morning I was on top of the world and I'm sure I feel my depersonalisation lifting! I'm not counting my chickens yet though! Xx

      I've probably reached my therapeutic dose now thankfully cos I can't go any higher then 200mg lol I don't suffer from side effects when I've upped my dose.

    HI Katelyn,

    I would up your dose to 50mg as soon as possible. Then to 75 or 100 after a week or 2. I spent too long waiting to up my dose and feel like I would of got better quicker if I hadn’t wasted time. Xx
