In reply to Zoloft 25 mg enough?, posted by PrettyLady on February 14, 2013, at 12:20:48
I absolutely totally cannot understand the philosophy of increasing a dose simply for the sake of increasing the dose because that's what everybody else does. One of the best rules of thumbs I've discovered in my journeys is.....stay at the lowest dose that works, don't rock the boat! In your case, I would say stay on 25mg another 6 to 8 weeks before making any decisions. The best benefits are gong to show up in the 10 to 16 week range, and you aren't there yet.
If anything ever needs to be done, I personally would not increase the dose, but instead would round it out and balance it out with a norepinephrine component. SSRI+TCA is likely to work better than any dose of any ssri.
