Zoloft takers - what dose and how often do you take?

ImChrisBride

I take 50 mg twice a day, once in the morning with breakfast and once before bed, so 100mg total per day.  Evidently I need to up my morning coffee dosage, because I occasionally forget to take the morning dose, and I'm wondering if it's okay to just take 100mg at night if I do forget.  Anyone else do this?  Or just take 100mg once a day?  My logic is that if people just take 100mg once a day, then it shouldn't be a big deal to double up if I forget a dose...or maybe I shouldn't jack with it, eh?  lol

Obvi I'm going to ask the doc and pharmacist about this before I do it, but it was on my mind since I forgot my morning dose yesterday, and so I was wondering if anyone here had insight.

I take 50mg once per day. I would definitely ask your doc before making any changes to your medication.

I take 50mg once a day. But my Dr. told me that I can bump up to 100 by just taking two (to see if it works) if I don't feel 50 is working. She didn't mention taking it twice a day, so I assume once would be fine--the next dosage of pill up is 100mg!

I was on 200mg of Zoloft before I was weaned off when we were TTC.  I've been taking it since I was 18, and I was slowly taken up to that dosage over about 2 years.  My doctor prescribed it again, but only 50mg now.  If it works, I'll stick with it, if not, going up to 100mg.

I was told not to double dose it.  If you miss one, wait till tomorrow.  I was only on once a day though.
