A member asked:
If u were on lexapro (escitalopram) and cross tapered to zoloft would it still take zoloft 6 weeks to work. as i have ben on it 4 weeks and still dont feel good?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dose adjust: I would expect to see some effect at 4 weeks. It may mean the Zoloft (sertraline) dose is too low for you.
