A member asked:
65 yrs old. on 150 mg zoloft (sertraline) 5 yrs. after very scary severe second clinical depression diagnosed by a psychiatrist, is this dosage ok to continue.

Add expert therapy: That is a high but common dose. In the past use of SSRIs for years was not recommended, but now it is common. Never stop or change dose w/o guidance but do consider adding good talk therapy to optimize gains and resolve issues. All research supports this combo! Best wishes.
