NEWcastle212 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I abused setraline a couple of times and took 300-400mg a night and it was amazing. I was happy as hell, ocd was at a minimum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 My doctor told me the upper limit they were comfortable prescribing was 200mg. I'm not sure if that's the standard upper limit, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 According to the PI sheet (https://www.ebs.tga.gov.au/ebs/picmi/picmirepository.nsf/pdf?OpenAgent&id=CP-2010-PI-04887-3 - Australian PBS) the maximum recommended dose is 200mg. No studys have been done at doses above 200mg and the side effects are unknown - It is not recommended that you go above those doses. However, it is not unknown for people to be prescribed doses above the maximum. Not unknown, but exceedingly rare. Furthermore, to get higher doses you would have to have the doctor agree to prescribe said doses, and the majority will not. In any case, it basically comes down to talking to your doctor about it, The worst they can say is no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicwhite Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 My doc well several wanted to go higher then 200. I went to 250 ay one time but, no higher. Um, it's strange how you said you took 300-400 mg's and felt it instantly. Most the time it takes time even when you have bumped it up and being on it for awhile.

radicalfeminist Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Doctors have only ever wanted to go up to 200 mgs for me which is what I'm on now. I also think its weird that you would get an instant high from it, I know for some people it takes a couple months before they even notice anything. I'm not sure that you're supposed to be feeling "happy as hell" on Zoloft anyway. It's not a drug to get high off of (and I didn't realize it was possible - but I do see you're bipolar and I know SSRIs can stimulate mania).

Astar Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 My pdoc prescribes more than the recommended 200mg for my depression, so it does happen. I'm in Australia - not sure where you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
december_brigette Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I'm at 200mg zoloft and my pdoc will not go any further. I've been on other meds where the pdoc did go further than what was recommended and it was definitely beneficial. What I'm concerned about is the OP saying they abused it? I don't know if Im allowed to write how it could be abused....but Im thinking not orally. And why aren't you on it now? db Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
