Question 1

i accidentally took a double dose of sertraline, meaning 400 mg. i am also prescribed doxepin, 300 mg, which i also took with my nighttime meds.

Accepted Answer

Accidental overdose: Probably will not be an issue if this was a one time occurrence; however, I suggest holding off sertraline for 1 day and then resume you normal dose. These medicines should never be taken at the same time. Stagger doses by 6-8 hrs and notify your prescribing physwician.

Question 2

is it safe to cross taper sertraline 50mg (morning)  with 25mg doxepin (night)? if you have previously handled doxepin well ? (stopping sertraline)

Accepted Answer

?: depends on what you were taking sertraline for?  Especially if you were taking it in am I am assuming it was for depression or anxiety. 25 mg doze pin is a very low dose. May help with insomnia. I rarely use it for depression but would take at least 150 mg for therapeutic effect. For some patients using a low dose 25-50 mg 2 or 3 x/d may help anxiety.

Question 9

is it okay to take 5 or 6 sertraline 50mg?

Accepted Answer

Doctor's instruction: With any prescription including zoloft/sertraline, it is highly recommended that you follow your doctor's prescription exactly as indicated on the bottle. The dose range for zoloft is generally 25 mg to a maximum of 200 mg daily. The dose of this medication generally does not shift quickly since it takes time to see results at a given dose (several weeks). Contact your doctor if not sure.
