I'm an oldie who hasn't been around in a long time. I'm back to zoloft after prozac, paxil, celexa, wellbutrin and effexor bombed for different reasons.
But I'm under tons of stress at work and elsewhere, and I'm sinking under the depression again, and it's even hitting with me physical symptoms (abdominal pain), which I haven't had in years. I feel miserable, ineffectual, hopeless, and fantasizing not yet about suicide, but simply about accidental death.
I don't have a real pdoc since my move to deepest darkest rural America, just a nice and sympathetic gp, so it's partly up to me to come up with the ideas.
Zoloft worked for me for a long time a long time ago -- I only stopped taking it then because of the shakes. I can't stand the thought of going back on SSRI roulette again, and trying to find a new fix for the problem.
I know the maximum dose of zoloft is 200 mg. But is it common to need more than 100? Would I be a wimp to ask my doctor?
