The typical starting dose of Zoloft (sertraline) for adults with depression or other approved conditions is 50 mg daily. Your doctor may adjust this based on your individual response and needs. Remember, this is just a starting point.
Dosage increases are usually gradual, often progressing to 100 mg daily after a few weeks if needed. Some individuals may benefit from higher doses, up to a maximum of 200 mg daily, but this is less common and always determined by your physician.
Never alter your dosage without first consulting your doctor. They will monitor your progress and make adjustments as necessary to ensure both safety and efficacy. Open communication with your doctor is key to successful treatment.
Be aware that side effects can vary, and your doctor can discuss ways to manage them. Consistent medication adherence is important for achieving the best possible outcome. Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely.
