Zoloft

I been on Zoloft 37.5 my doctor told me that increase to 50mg . She just said to take the 12.5 at night and to keep taking the 37.5 in the morning.. is that even effective?

I am sorry, but I am not sure. Definitely follow Doctor's orders, but if you are concerned just call them and ask. I wish you the best. God bless you. 🤗🙄

I'm also on 37.5 right now and need to go up to 50 mg but to just take the full dose. I haven't heard of breaking it up like that, but your doc knows better!

Do you ever feel tired like you just want to sleep and sad

Hi Sfqueen, having trouble getting through again. Whenever starting on new medication or upping the dose, you will feel tired. Don't forget it does have a sedative effect. Hopefully, once your body gets use to it, the tiredness may go away. The sadness is still a part of your depression and may be helped with continued therapy as well as your meds.

I didn't realize 12.5 more had actual effect lol I have a headache too

[Agora1 in reply to Sfqueen]

Good or bad effect. Headache may be more from stressing out over the meds. If it is from the Zoloft, it may be a side effect that will go away once you get use to it. I know it's difficult in knowing what causes what. You could ask your doctor to be sure, but they will probably tell you to continue anyway.

I don't feel tired from it, I actually have a hard time sleeping from Zoloft and take it in the morning for that reason. It will get better. There's an adjustment period for sure. I'm still on the 37.5 for a second week because I want to give my body time to adjust before moving to 50.

I totally agree I been on 37.5 for about a month now. Everytime I increase I get headaches and forget things I feel out of it
