Specializes in Psychiatry

Don't know: what condition you are being treated for? Don't know how long you have been on this dose? It can take 4 to 6 weeks to get a full response of zoloft (sertraline) at your current dose. Please don't make any changes to your medications without discussing with your physician/ psychiatrist.
