I was wondering about anyone that is on 25mg of Zoloft after the 8th week and wondered if they were feeling better? My doctor recommended that I move up to 37.5 and I am reluctant to go for it. Any advice?
Entering my 8th week on Zoloft and had a bad week with anxiety at work?

Hi, doublej!
I would go for it if I were you. Every person responds differently to all medications and your metabolism is still adjusting to the medication. There is no specific "one size fits all" dose for this type of medication and the dosage has to be tailored to the individual's needs.
Some people may do very well on 25mg but many will eventually have breakthrough anxiety and require a higher dose. Since 200mg/day is the maximum recommended dose you have plenty of room for an increase.
Best regards and feel better quickly!
