Ive been on zoloft 100mg for 7 weeks and while i do see major improvments, there is still room for more.

Would upping my dose help this? I see my psychiatrist again in a week and intend on asking her as she did mention it.

I was on 100mg 3yrs ago that i stopped after a yr as i felt fine, this time its alot worse so im assuming a higher dose would make sense??

You willl probably need an increase. I was on Zoloft for ten years before it pooped out and I was on 200 mgs. for many years - that is what worked best for me.

You may very well benefit from a dose increase and you have a lot of wiggle room as the dose maximum on Zoloft is 200 mg/day.

Do advocate for yourself and talk with your Dr.

I'm so glad somebody believes in Zoloft. My doctor is starting me on it in a couple of days. I'll only start with 50mg. I'm sure if I need a higher dosage he'll give it to me. I just slowly came off of Cymbalta. Didn't have a bad time. I have my last pill tomorrow. Lots of luck to you.
