Todd Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 my pdoc (this means psychiatrist right?) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep, sure does, at least around here. my pdoc has just increased the dosage of my SSRI to 300mg instead of switching to a different drug. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Are you taking Zoloft (sertraline hydrochloride)?

freesoul Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 You need to tell us which one, as they all have diferent recommended dosages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazykid Posted November 25, 2005 Author Share Posted November 25, 2005 yes. 300mg zoloft titrated from 50mg over about 3 months without much benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inertia Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 That's not entirely unheard of, but I can't vouch for any benefit coming from a dose that high. If it were me, I'd be shitting myself stupid in fear of the side-effects that would invariably occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpmaster Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Seems like a strange choice when he/she could of : - changed you to another SSRI (lexapro, celexa, prozac, luvox, paxil). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Elvis Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 With OCD in particular, it's common to use SSRI doses well above the recommended max for other indications. I was up to 80mgs on Paxil for a couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
