I'm no expert and no authority but that strikes me as a lot of zoloft. I tried it once because I had seasonal affective disorder. I was put on 25 mg. Another Dr told me to take 100 and I had a MAJOR manic disorder and I am NOT bipolar. I went off it and have never tried another psycho-active drug in my life. I think this stuff is poison. FOR ME. Again, I'm no expert and I am not making recommendations.

I've been on 100mg of Zoloft pretty regularly in the past. I think the dose can go as high as 200mg.

I hope that you're able to get your meds figured out soon, Sweepy. It can be really uncomfortable to go through the transition process.

I'm glad you have a new diagnosis and plan that might help better and your therapist is standing by to help.
