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? |
HI Elana,
When I was on psych meds, which included Zoloft, I never gave up caffeine.
But in doing a google search, it does look like there can be certain types of interactions between caffeine and psych meds. So you're doing the right thing in asking your p-doc.
By the way, if mine had said to give it up, I would have been in big trouble
