I was probably on zoloft @ 100 for 4-5 months. It was the first time I'd ever taken an AD, and it was in the "heyday" (early 90's) of celebrating the effectiveness of these new drugs (ie i've never had a doc suggest i go up to 75 ot 100 since then). I was on 75 briefly before 100. Not sure why we went up to 100 - It's hard to remember as it's been so long.
"Too much" is subjective of course, but for me, I get all the benefits I need at 50, with minimal side effects.
Regarding prozac, my doc and I talked and I am going to give 15 mg a try for a few days, if I still have all the bad cognitive and emotional effects then I will stop. I'm a little annoyed with myself for even wanting to try another drug, when I know zoloft so well. Argh. What was I thinking?
Thanks for your well wishes :)
> Can I ask you again how long you were on Zoloft? I think you mentioned 1OO was too much. How long were you on 100 and how was it too much? I know, I know, I asked you this already. Also, Did you try 75?
