In reply to Starting Zoloft, what can I expect?, posted by JimmyBean on October 23, 2003, at 4:00:36
My son's problem is schizophrenia. He takes 20 mg of Zyprexa at 7:00 pm. At between 9-10 AM he is taking 75 mg Zoloft. It takes at least a week or two or more to notice the effects. It works well for him, but if you tend toward acne/skin problems monitor that carefully it can cause or worsen acne from what we have experienced. I have read many good posts on this forum regarding Zoloft. It does lessen sex drive, I think that is the most heard complaint. My son was almost too euphoric on 100 mg so he was cut back to 75 mg. I have also read from others that that is the best dosage. Many complain that 50 mg is not enough. My son's Dr told me last week he can prescribe 25 mg so he can take one 50 mg and one 25 mg per day. Good Luck.
