Zoloft

Ok, I'm getting desperate. Antidepressants have never really helped but I'm desperate enough to see if just an edge however slight will be lifted. Last year I tried setriline at 100 mg. and nervous side effects made me give up. I called my doctor the other day and requested a prescription of 25 mg. to maybe avoid side effects from too much too soon. My question is, can 25 mg. be helpful. even before upping the dosage?

I started at 25mg as well and upped to 50mg a week later. I was terrified that it wouldn't work for me but I noticed a difference by the end of the second week. Don't give up. Best of luck to you. c:

With my experience on this medicine and starting at the same dose 25 mg, I definitely started feeling a difference. I went up very slowly, and it definitely helped with not noticing the side effects all that much! Hope that helps! Blessings, k

Hi, there -

I'm on day 60 of zoloft.  I actually started at 12.5 and have worked up to 37.5.  I looked back through my log and saw that I started noticing improvement on my anxiety on day 11 with more consistent "good day" notes around day 18 (I upped to 25 mg on day 12).  I've had WAY more good days than bad!

Hang in there!
