My best friend has started taking Zoloft and I am a little worried about her. First of all, she is only 18; is this too young to start taking the drug? She has only been on it for a few monthes, but she has recently started requesting an increase in the dosage... do people normally do that so soon?
Some of her reactions include extreme apathy, slight paranioa (in that she thinks no one likes her) and a lack of interest in the things she used to enjoy. Are these normal reactions or should she be taken off the drug and put on a different drug or taken off all drugs completely? She has stopped opening up to me recently and I think it may be because she mistrusts me as well. One more thing, what effect does alcohol have on Zoloft? I know she has continued drinking while on the drug, so that could possibly be affecting its potency. If anyone has any answers to my questions or suggestions for how I can help her, please respond.Thanks,
tj
