LT, I think that is because your daughter, if I remember correctly, is on a

different med. For Zoloft you go up to 200 mg and the smallest increase, I have

personally heard, is 25 mg at one time. I think it depends on the exact med.

Zoloft comes in 25, 50 and 100 mg. It doesn't come in 10s like Prozac does. My

daughter's psych also prefers smaller increases, but sometimes it depends on

what is happening. We had to increase her Risperdal faster than he wanted

because she was really struggling at that point, as we had removed Seroquel. Kim

Again - just to mention, our doctor told us that " slow is the key " when

increasing meds. My daughter is never increased more than 10mg each time we

go

(every 6-8 weeks). Our psychiatrist swears by this.

Kim -

thanks for that clarification - I was unaware of the differences in how meds

are given/increased. Interesting.
