Should I upgrade to 100mg: Have been on 50mg for 6 months
Posted , 5 users are following.
I'm seeing the doc on 15th and I'm doing better however I still have my sad days and I don't think the 50mg is just enough. I will be asking an increase of dosage to 100mg so, when did you guys feel like happiness or better sense?
The 50mg helped me in so, many ways however it isn't simply not enough. My life was a waste and it had no direction because I was drowning in depression but since I gotten on I almost fixed everything however some pieces aren't still fixed. I'm in a time where I can't live without Zoloft so, I'm planning on being on it for decades till new meds come out or it stops working.

Everything is possible, I myself was stuck in my room depressed with nothing to do for the last 4 years. Zoloft saved my life. My life would simply be shattered without it and 6 months of using it has improved me so, much. I started school and gotten a job. I feel like a normal person fort he first time. I get some sad moments and some time where I feel like the old times. I think it's due to it being a low dose so, I think I need to switch to 100mg and hopefully it fixes majority of remaining issues.
I have faith Dylan because millions of people are on it and it's a money-making nice for pharmaceuticals industry. It's good for them and it's good for me, I call it a win-win situation. They make money by investing on better meds so, people like me can be on them forever.

I am so glad you are feeling better. Depression is a terrible illness. I personally would increase but just to 75mg at first for a few weeks. You may get some side effects again but they should be less brutal. I personally don't mind how long I stay on these meds cos I couldn't go back to how I was. Sertraline has saved my life. I am on 150mg and have no intention of coming off them at least until I retire maybe. I am 62
Good luck and well done for getting out there..You will reach that light at the end of your tunnel

See thats just my only issue. I dont think the meds are supposed to ‘solve all the issues’ but i am really glad youve found functionality again. Im probably similar to where you were years ago i cant work or go to school right now thats my goal hopefully by the end of summer.
Meds are a bandaid tho. I will ALWAYS be concerned with the underlying issues, and although meds can help you function, whenever you decide to ‘come off’ all that depression will just come back. Thats why I dont have faith. Plus the whole sexual side effects thing for a 25 year old guy just isnt acceptable.
I do hope big pharma takes their billions and makes better meds that dont have these side effects. Until they do that— i will resent the current echelon of medication.
Again though, i know it helps alot of people. Im just not sure if i can be one of them at this rate.
