Hi all,
I read something online that said not to drink coffee (or have any caffeine) when taking Zoloft. What? OMG. I sort of think of coffee as one of my main reasons for getting through the day. I actually don't drink that much, say 6 oz in the am and 6 oz in the afternoon. My pdoc didn't mention it, but I'll ask him about it... God I hope it isn't true. That being said, I might feel more able to quit caffeine if the medication could help with the depression and give me a lift in energy. So far it hasn't affected the usual sleepiness and lethargy that accompanies my depressive symptoms. But maybe that will change. I'm still only around 50 MG.

Does the sleepiness go away?
Has anyone kept their coffee routine while taking zoloft?
