If you took 50 mg of Zoloft and it didn't work for you ...

.... what did? A higher dose of Zoloft? Another medicine? Seeing a therapist?

It seems to be making a little bit of a difference but not enough. It almost just feels like I need a higher dose, but I'm going to see what my dr recommends. I was just curious of others' experiences. This is all so new to me, as I didn't have PPD with DS#1 but have it horribly with DS#2. :o( I'm so ready to be myself again!

    how long have you been on it? I know that SSRI's (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors- the specific anti depressant that it is) take several weeks to reach maximum effectiveness. If it's been over a month then I'd recommend asking your doc to either be switched or maybe they can give you something in addition to the Zoloft.

    I'm on 100 mg and it does nothing for me. My psychiatrist just upped the dose to 150 mg today. I also got a script for something I can't pronounce and Ambien. I hope it starts working for you!!!

    I would probably give it another month. It took a good 8 weeks for me to feel the full effects of the Zoloft. My ob said that was normal.

    50 mg of zoloft took the edge off for me, but I still felt really anxious.  My dr increased my dose to 100 mg and it made a world of difference.  She told me that 50 mg is a very low dose and most of her patients are on at least 100 mg.
