I have been taking 25mg of zoloft for 13 weeks will little improvement, my psych wants me to increase to 50mg of zoloft. i am scared to increase, should i be worried of serotonin syndrome? or should i worry at all about increasing my dose to 50mg?

I don’t think that your Psychiatrist would recommend the increased dosage if he/she thought the increase would cause Serotonin Syndrome.

If the sole medication you are ingesting is Zoloft 50 mg daily, Serotonin Syndrome would be virtually impossible, and unheard of.
