Question:
Been on Zoloft for 2 weeks, should i stop?
Been on setraline hcl for 2 weeks. increased my dose after the first week (doctors orders) and had worse panic attacks. went back down to 25 mg. having trouble sleepings and very paranoid. I feel like i forget everything on this med. should i stop? and how long should i taper off it for??
Answers:
Did you ask your doctor before dropping back to 25mg? It seems like a small dose - I've been taking it since last September and started on 50mg and went up to 100mg. Saw my doctor today as I am feeling much better and he said for it to be effective long term I should keep taking it for 2 years. I am on it for depression, so maybe it's not the right drug for you?? I used to suffer from anxiety, but that is much better now as well. NB The label on my pack says "DO NOT STOP TAKING THIS MEDICATION WITHOUT CONSULTING YOUR DOCTOR
