Zoloft

Hello-I have been taking 100 mg of zoloft for about a year and a half. For about the last month of so, I have noticed a steady increase in my depression. I find that my depression is almost as bad as it was before I started this medication. Do I need a higher dose or maybe is this a side effect? I have even been contemplating suicide...I feel very very depressed...

Please see your physician right away!

You just might need a change in medications, or your dosage adjusted. Also, why don't you talk to your physician regarding counseling? This will make you feel better.

There are a few anti depressants on the market that are not intended for long term use, and Zoloft and Prozac are among them. However, your maximum dose for Zoloft may be in the 200 to 300 mg range, depending on size, weight, and body chemistry, so you may just need a higher dose. It is important with any anti depressant that you notify your doctor immediately of thoughts of suicide, as some meds can increase the risk of suicide in young adults. Please contact your doctor immediately regarding this.

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is a 24-hour, toll-free suicide prevention service available to anyone in suicidal crisis. If you need help, please dial 1-800-273-TALK (8255). You will be routed to the closest possible crisis center in your area.
