Wow. The ONE time someone has a use for the word dose, and they spell it does. Just like all those other times people mean to spell dose and use does.
The best people to check with for medication advise would be yahoo answers people, they all have medical degrees with psychiatric specializations and prescription powers..

Zoloft is an antidepressant for those of you who don't know. Its side effects include: violent behavior, withdrawal symptoms and deeper depression, psychotic episodes, seizures, suicidal thoughts, hostility; to name a few.
I recommend you seek competent medical advice regarding this issue. See a medical doctor, and get a complete medical examination. Your depression could be a result of any number of medical reasons and could be handled with a simple change in diet, excersize, antibiotics, etc.
Seeking an answer from these forums in regards to this question is like lighting matches while standing in a pool of gasoline.
You need expert medical advice, not some Yahoo!'s opinion of the average dose.
And I am assuming that you think by upping your dosage that you will be countering the anxiety or depression that much more, which is a dangerous an ignorant assumption on your part.

I went through a state were I needed medication, I took Zoloft 50mg a day, it really helped. But, I stopped as soon as I was able to regroup, and carry on life without it.
