I was prescribed Zoloft (100mg) however my doctor increased it to 125 mg. And I feel super tired and dizzy. Does it go away? And when will the 25mg kick in?
Sertraline - Does increasing Zoloft cause side effects again?

Hello Mmurcia:
If you have been on 100 mg of Zoloft for any appreciable length of time (say 2 or more months) it seems unusual that increasing the dosage by just 25 mg would regenerate side effects. Did you experience side effects when you first initiated treatment with Zoloft? Besides 100 mg, what other dosage levels have you been on?
As far as when the incremental dosage will "kick in" it will probably require a month before the full benefits of the extra 25 mg are realized.
