Time to switch zoloft or go up
Posted , 3 users are following.
ive been on zoloft 50mg for over 8 weeks now. I am back to work and am getting through day but I still feel aweful. my sleep is better I'm still crying and I still have loads of physical symptoms. I feel like my whole system is out of wack. I eat right exercise. although last couple days I have to force eating. I see my doc Wednesday. any advice on what to do? I'm beyond frustrated and angry and sad. I moss me, my family misses me

You need an increase. Ask your Dr about going up by 25mg every 2 weeks until you hit 200mg and I guarantee that you will feel a million times better. Too many people pussy foot around and suffer needlessly hoping to be on low doses, but after 8 weeks on 50 and you are still having effects like that you need more.
50 and 75 were the worst for me. Each increase gets a lot easier. I've been on 200mg for 7 months now and it hasn't always been easy, but I'm a million % better than I was last year at this time.

I was on 50 before and it worked fine. you think it's the dose and not just the med

if you felt good before at 50 mg so you need increase this time . i was on 100 mg for 2 yrs and i stopped for 2 months and now im back but i reached 150 mg bec i stayed on 100 for 11 weeks and i was still struggling im now on 150 for week 7 and i can say its working better than 100 . my advice to you is up your dose specially the med is doing something to you so discuss it with your doc and see what is the best for you .
