Causing a fatality with an SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) such as Sertraline (Zoloft) is uncommon. In fact this was one of the major marketable qualities of this entire class of agents. Prior to the SSRIs coming to market the MAOIs and Tricylic Antidepressants were more prescribed and they both boast much more dangerous effects in overdose.
Symptoms of overdose include the following:
Symptoms of a sertraline overdose include nausea, vomiting, tremor, seizures, agitation, drowsiness, hyperactivity, and enlarged pupils.
Most of these are due to agonism at 5-HT receptors in the CNS.
For the record I have seen doses higher than 200mg in practice but it is rare, also to take 650mg tells me that you have done this on purpose.
As an adjuvant I recommend you seek help from friends and family and then discuss this with your doctor. If Zoloft isn't working for you there is a plethora of other anti-depressants to choose from.

maximum possibly, it quite is the mixture of Zoloft plus Rivotril that made you sense so hungover. As you likely understand, Rivotril is an anti-rigidity med that throughout many circumstances reasons drowsiness, quite whilst taken at evening. So the mixture won't be the best for you. additionally, people in many circumstances sense detrimental area outcomes quickly after commencing a med. Then the area outcomes shrink or with a bit of luck disappear. Zoloft is interior the comparable form of drugs as Prozac, Lexapro, Paxil, etc. those SSRIs frequently take 3 to 6 weeks in the past the useful outcomes kick in. So some people provide up too early on a drug through area outcomes---in the past the useful outcomes initiate. of direction, if your hungover thoughts are quite undesirable, you ought to call your surgeon. conversing from my adventure and fairly some others i understand, people can react to psychiatric meds very in any different case. Going as much as 50 mg of Zoloft won't be suitable for you. i do no longer mean to evangelise, yet workout is between the suitable issues I even have performed for my significant melancholy. Please evaluate finding into option well being treatments for melancholy. a number of them are junk, yet some are worth exploring. via the way, I take psych drugs and that i think of there's a time and place for it.

That is a large does of an antidepressant that you took. The recommended does is 50mg only. I recommend that you talk to a poison control centre for advice on what to do. Overdosing on antidpressants is a dangerous thing to do, and can cause severe damage to the body. Why did you take such a heavy dose of Zorloft?
