25 to 50 mg/Day: Starting dose is 25 mg/day and may go up to 50-75 or even 100 mg day.Concept is to slowly increase does to maintenance depending on individual need and reaction.

Zoloft: Although I usually start people off at 25 mg per day for a week, I sometimes start as low as 12.5 mg in someone who has had SSRI side effects. The average maintenance dose is 50 to 200 mg per day, but off label dosing may go significantly higher.
