converted,
Man I am happy to hear it. I'm on 150mg. The real kick that seemed to get mine going was augmenting with 600mg of lithium. I also take 200mg of Seroquel. I have tried about every ssri over the last 15 years and Zoloft seems to be the only one that works for me. This is certainly not scientific, but I think Zoloft has become the most prescribed ssri because it works relatively well on a wide range of symptoms. I know there are other factors, generic, age of drug, marketing etc. But still it seems to be the more successful ssri. That said, it is subject to poop out. With the help of the "staff" here at PB - as mine starts to slip, I will be looking at some of the older drugs to rotate to. Then keep Zoloft in my back pocket to come back to if the other drugs lose there effectiveness. Hope it keeps working for you.
