I've went off meds and required higher doses as well when I retried.
My current zoloft dose is 50mg as compared to 150mg 8 mths. ago so the opposite could be stated as well.
Thats not to say the medication is more or less effective.
I am not the same person I was 8 mths. ago.... meaning I have different circumstances in my life.... less stress, beter physical shape, seasonal environment etc.I really don't think it's fair to compare a drugs effectivness with dated responces as there are to many variables to consider?
