A member asked:

I am on zoloft 100mg, feeling happy and my anxiety is under control but my motivation and sex drive has lowered. should i reduce to 75mg?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Zoloft: Zoloft is an "SSRI", and any change in dosage will take about 8-10 days before an effect is noticed, in general. Consult the physician who prescribed the antidepressant prior to a change in dosage.
