> If I were to attempt the Zoloft combo, what would the dosage be, approx. how long would it take to kick-in?
Personally, I have found that I need full therapeutic doses of the drugs I combine. I don't believe that combining drugs always allows one to use reduced dosages. The maximum dosage of Zoloft is 200 mg/day. I would consider beginning at 50 mg/day and titrating quickly according to side effects and response. For depression, Zoloft can kick-in within three weeks once a therapeutic dosage is reached. The trouble is, this dosage will be different from person to person. For OCD, it can take 6 or more weeks at 200 mg/day for Zoloft to produce an improvement. Agoraphobia might not respond as quickly as depression does to antidepressant treatment. It might resemble OCD in this respect. I don't know.
I hope you keep posting. I would love to see you respond to this stuff.
