zoloft question

[Guest guest]

I agree with the others- go slowly. We have been weaning down on the zoloft for

several years now by 12.5 mg each cut and keeping him at that dose for 6 weeks

at least before going lower and have had no side effects at all. I think a good

rule of thumb is down at the same speed/ way as up.

We were on 37.5 mg zoloft for the last couple years(age 13) and now are on 25.

I too am chicken to stop but at the same time want to. He did not get

theraputic on the way up til we hit 100 mg so I sincerely doubt this tiny dose

is keeping the Ocd away, but what if.........I am as bad as him!

Another Zoloft question - we upped the dose on MOnday to 1 1/2 pills (so 37.5

mg) from 1 pill. When upping the dose has anyone experienced

tiredness/weakness? I'm not noticing it during the day, but last night and

tonight he had hockey practice/game and I noticed a bit of difference there.

And if anyone has experienced this, is it short lived? He is in State finals

this weekend and he is thinking the Zoloft is making him tired and wanting to go

back to one pill.

Dear -

 

I have heard that to be the case with Zoloft, in fact her doc told us to start

her at night just in case she got tired.  My daughter (true perhaps to her

contrary nature) instead couldn't sleep, so we used to dose her in the morning.
