Sticking it out with Zoloft
by Jimmy1965, Aug 05, 2006 12:00AM
Hi All,
My Psyciatrist (good Dr. by the way) wants me to try and stick it out with the Zoloft. I'm currently on 75mg and he wants me to go to 100mg. My questions are, what can I expect as far as any withdrawals since I've been on Zoloft for a little over two months and how long will I see a difference in going up to 100mg.
Thanks,

I am not sure why you are thinking of withdrawals when you are increasing the dose. You should be seeing a change almost immediately, or at least in the first week.
I meant Side effects
