Hi, Ginger! You should ask your prescribing doctor for her/his professional advice.

Been taking it for years, take the full dosage at the same time everyday. No reason to split it in two doses infact I'm not even sure you should.

Eh, it sort of works but does nothing for my depression. I have less panic attacks but still get them. Best of luck!

If the label says take 100mg once a day, that is what you take. If it says take 50 mg twice a day then that's what you do. Usually its taken in one dose.

Zoloft is taken as a single dose once a day either in the morning or the evening depending on whether it makes you sleepy or not.

I take it for bipolar disorder. My doc has me taking 200mg all at once before bedtime. Not that this would necessarily be the right course of action for you to follow.

I would just add that I don't know what other meds you are taking and this might very well play into determining when you should take it.

IGNORE WHAT I SAID - I was thinking of another med.
