Dear John,
As I mentioned in an earlier post, it took a long time for the Zoloft to kick in, including increasing the dosage to 150 mgs, for my first depressive episode.
During my second, the Zoloft kicked in at three days. I'm now well along the way on the healing side of this second episode, and am considering going off Zoloft. However, on bad days during this recovery phase, can I increase the Zoloft (I'm now taking 50 mg) for a day or two to help through a rough patch?
My sister is on Paxil and does exactly that. When she started on Paxil, I was "healthy", not taking anything and my only experience with SSRI's had been my first episode, and thought it was a placebo effect that was helping her. However, after reading your posts, I realize I could be mistaken.
Your thoughts, please?
