Sertraline/Zoloft experiences?

Hi. I started sertraline about two weeks ago (25mg/d). I think that I'm less irritable, better able to cope and don't get sucked down so deeply into rumination. Hoping for further improvement and might consider increasing dose in a month.

If you've taken S/Z, what has your experience been? How long did it take for you to get what you considered to be the full effect? What was your dosing?

Hi rescuedbydogs :)

I have not been on Zoloft but most SSRIs are pretty much the same in the amount of

time needed to become effective. Usually it's about 4-6 weeks, a little more if the

dosage is increased. It's the end results that can and will change your life for the

better. Keep in touch with your prescribing physician and report how you are doing.

Only they know what's best for you according to your health history. My best :) xx
