Time of dose: Zoloft (sertraline) is 25, 50, 100mg tablets. There is no preferential time to take it and the dose range is usually between 50-200mg/day in single or divided doses. It only matters how you feel after taking the medication. If energized take i n am. If lethargic take in pm. I suggest after meals. Just be patient and work with your prescribing professional. U will be rx a low dose and gradually increased.

AM or PM: This medication can be taken in the morning or evening and we sometimes dose it at bedtime because it can make some people drowsy.

With food: Zoloft (sertraline) should be taken with food, since peak plasma level will be 30% higher that way.
