Depression: I would see a physician once to get a properly prescribed medication however Zoloft (sertraline) is a tablet and 50 or 100 mg I would suggest 50 mg would be an appropriate starting dose and should be continued for 30 days. If symptoms have not improved by then an increase to 100 mg would be appropriate
