A member asked:
Went up to 75mg zoloft from 50mg two weeks ago. no further improvement. should i try 100 or switch to paxil which worked well at 20mg in the past. ?

Ok to up Zoloft: Yes it is ok to increase sertraline (Zoloft) to 100 mg. Since you are on it might as well go ahead and increase dose and assess. Since paroxetine (Paxil) worked well in the past likely will work again.
