I just started on Zoloft(generic) at 25mg. I see most everyone starts at a higher dose, or gets kicked up to the next higher mg pretty quickly, can anyone tell me why that is?
 
Kittkat I just started Zoloft yesterday at the same dose. It is done in increments for the purpose of easing it into your system (especially for those who already suffer from anxiety and the chance of having the side effect of anxiety).

I plan on going 25 mg for a week then go to 50 and see how that goes. Two days in I'm feeling a touch higher anxiety level, but nothing I can't handle. How are you doing? Keep in touch with your progress and I'll do the same.

Good Luck!
 
I started at 25 also, then 6 wks later, bumped to 50. It's much easier on your body that way.
 
Thanks for your replys. I have been on 25mg. for 3 weeks now, I felt the effects right away, but I also don't have a severe anxiety problem, I just get edgey & annoyed easily, it is helping alot for that. My doctor didn't say anything about bumping me up to a higher dose, he wanted to see if the 25mg. would be enough to help with the problem, but not so much that it would bring on the dreaded sexual side effects. I was on prozac a couple of years ago for sleeping issuses, & it all but killed the sex life, this is a little better, not great but it's workable.
