In reply to ZOLOFT - Dosage??? , posted by SLS on January 1, 2004, at 9:54:45
About 6 months ago I took 50mg of Lustral (Zoloft), for about 8 weeks, to help my depression. I'm unsure whether to class my depression I had then as severe - most of the time I wasn't suicidal, but I did struggle with things such as going out of the house. I also experience terrible anxiety with my depression.
Personally I found the 50mg to be a complete waste of time. It was as if I was taking sugar pills! Lustral/Zoloft had absolutely no bearing on my depression or anxiety at all. My doctor raised the dose to 100mg, but still it made no real difference.
Maybe I should have increased the dose further, I don't know. My doctor certainly wasn't keen on putting it up any higher. I personally don't rate the drug, but I hear some people have had excellent results from it.
I found Seroxat and Effexor to be much more efficient.
