I'm on 25 mg of zoloft only (no anti-psychotic or mood stabilizer). When I was on 50 mg it caused me a lot of problems, but this dose seems good (so far, been about 3 months). Some might argue this isn't even a 'therapeutic' dose, but it's enough for me to take the edge off of otherwise debilitating anxiety. My 'warning sign' for when it became dangerous was feeling like it was more of a recreational drug that I actually craved (I believed I described it as crack mixed with ecstasy - much to my doctor's dismay), then the lack of sleep, impulsivity etc.
I wouldn't say I feel an increased urge to drink specifically, but on the higher dose I was just more reckless and thrill-seeking in general, so I did drink more, amongst other things. On the low dose though I find I'm drinking much less because of the decreased anxiety.
