She was dumped by her boyfriend about 6 months earlier and went to pieces and so I took her to a psychiatrist. They hospitalized her and she started on Zoloft, the lowest dose available. After a couple sessions with the psychiatrist. She was up to 125 mg then he wanted me to increase the dose to 200mg. I am not allowed in on the counseling sessions, but the psychiatrist tells me she claims to still be depressed and suicidal. She was shaking so badly, I took her out to eat, and she could not hold a fork. I had to take her to the ER for strep and the ER doctor was appauled, by the high dose and told me to get her off the Zoloft by decreasing her dose in 1/2. then cut down again then again, so I did. She is much better now. I found out she was throwing up in the trash can in her English class and they called me to come and get her out of school because she was so out of it. My daughter is such a manipulator. I dont know if her psychiatrist a quack. She is 5'2" and weighs 99 lbs
