There are plenty of clinical studies. For instance, this is from the Zoloft insert:
"Study 3 involved depressed outpatients who had responded by the end of an initial 8-week open
treatment phase on ZOLOFT 50-200 mg/day. These patients (N=295) were randomized to
continuation for 44 weeks on double-blind ZOLOFT 50-200 mg/day or placebo. (...) The mean dose for completers was 70 mg/day."If I'm not mistaken, the suggested doses are overall averages. Just as some people end up requiring higher than average doses, I wonder if taking lower doses will work over time.
> I agree hence take low doses. Sometimes its confusing as it seems that so many people are on an SSRI. I wonder if there are any clinical studies? Phillipa
