Geno,
You have to ask your doctor how to titrate it. I personally found it sedating at 50 mg, but a 100 mg I became a maniac & had major insomnia, but your results could be totally different. But only about 1-2% of people have a drug induced manic "switch" from Zoloft or Prozac- Zoloft made me feel like I had just drank 2 Beers 24 hours a day which was great for both social phobia & depression but eventually, after about 3 months at 100 mg (because of the drug induced mania) it made me feel like I was popping amphetamines 24 hours a day. Whatever you do, don't get drunk while you are on Zoloft therapy- you will do the dumbest things in the world and not remember them especially since you are already drunk after 2 beers while taking Zoloft.Zoloft takes 3-4 weeks before you make a trip to "happyville" at doses of 75-100mg or higher. I would guess that your doctor will raise the Zoloft by 25 mg per month, which is good if you are anxiety prone- that way your body gets used to the drug & then you have less side effects.
