That depends: The maximum recommended dose is 200mg but everyone responds to medication differently and the benefits of the medication must be weighed against the side effects. I would not be concerned with the absolute dosage as much as i would be about (1) how well is it treating what it's supposed to be treating and (2) how tolerable is the medication.

Zoloft (sertraline): That is a common dose. It is within normal dosing range.
