I recently got bumped up to 150mg from 100mg and I've felt overly sedated since, especially yesterday. I also seemed to be getting some headaches and don't know if that is from the zoloft or not. Yesterday I climbed into bed around 8pm feeling exhausted even though I had a good nights sleep the night before.

I decided to go back down to 100mg to see if I feel less sedated. Has anyone experienced this w/ SSRI's when increasing the dosage?

200mgs of Zoloft is the maximum recommended dose. If it sedates you, take it at bedtime.

I agree , take it just before bed

if 100 wannt doing much for you, its worth upping the dose

I've been on 200 mgs. of Zoloft for a couple of months now...lately it hasn't been helping at all so i upped it 250 mg since my appointment isn't until the 2nd. But I didn't know 200 was the max...that's crazy. Anyone know of something i should try next? No prozac...
