WHEN you go on med,s ,let,s say ssri,s sertraline -zoloft , do you take what the doc or shrink tells you or do you find your own theraputic dose an cruise on it. A lot rides on this, a doc could have you on 150mg when 50 mg is your right dose. Lets take side effects , 50mg hardly any if not reactive to this med in a bad way an your treating depression - anxierty. 100MG delay in orgasm an weight gain long term. 200mg compleat loss of sex drive an a few other nasty side effect thrown in. So in therory if you can cut it on 50mg your cool,no need to stop the med when feeling ok just maintain a safe level. Anxierty does get helped but that take a a long while to kick in. Me i take 100mg in winter an get away with 50mg in the summer months, my shrink thinks i take 150mg. But f*** him he is just the drug dispencer im the one who knows my body. Sertraline thats just one med but you do the same with any , less is more if you can manage , an for depression zoloft an lexapro are the top 2meds to work , so they print.What im saying is make the drug work for its money not pump to many mg that just produce more side effects.
