Question 1

on 50mg zoloft (sertraline) x 15 yrs for pms & menopause emotions; can it reverse its effect after so long?

Accepted Answer

SSRI effects: Can ssri effects "switch" after years? When the benefits of an ssri or other antidepressant seem to "go away", this usually indicates either (1) that the patient has had a breakthrough depression/anxiety episode or (2) the patient also needs a mood stabilizer added to treatment. Across a life, the body changes in response to ageing changes and to life stressor exposure.Please call your prescriber!

Question 2

would sam-e be any good with zoloft (sertraline) 200mg a day?

Accepted Answer

Caution. : Sam-e is a naturally occuring precursor to serotonin, and taking it can lead to increased levels of serotonin.  It is proving to be an effective treatment for depression, though the doses when taken alone are probably in the range of 1600 mg daily. When taken with a med like zoloft, (sertraline) one runs the risk of developing serotonin syndrome (flushing, diarrhea, palpitations, agitation). I advise caution.

Question 3

i have been taking sertraline and sam-e (several hours apart).i've noticed a positive change in my mood, but i read that it can be unsafe to take both. is it true?

Accepted Answer

Talk w/your Dr: They have loosely related effects, so in theory could cause excess effect/side effects. If you are improving, should talk to your dr and decide together if should withdraw one and check for change or leave things as are.

Question 4

i take sertraline can i take the diet pill a.c.e? will they counteract.

Accepted Answer

That : That is a good question and it is good that you are being cautions.  No, it would not be a good idea to take sertraline and a.C.E. Diet pills.  The diet pills contain stimulants (though they are stated to be natural) that can affect the mechanism of sertraline.  It would not be safe to take them together.

Question 5

what could 700mg of sertraline do to you?

Accepted Answer

Serotonin syndrome: It could land you in the hospital for serotonin syndrome. If you are considering overdosing, call 911 or go to your nearest emergwncy room! get treatment! get better! you deserve it! work with your doctor to treat whatever is going on!

Question 6

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.
