Help! Taken 5-htp, then Zoloft. Trouble raising higher dose of Zoloft.?

Question

Help me!

I have trouble rasing the Zoloft dosage to 25mg. My body reacts too sentitive if I take 25mg. I get anxious, nausiating, confused, etc.

Right now, I am taking 12.5mg.

I think the reason for the sensitivity is because I have taken 5-htp for quite a while before began taking the Zoloft.

I really want to raise my Zoloft dosage to 25mg, and then later, 100mg.

What should I do?

Answer 1

Why do you want to raise your dose? Are you feeling results at 25mg? How long have you been taking 25mg? it takes weeks to get results. There are other drugs in the class that you might not have such a problem with. What does your psychiatrist say?
