> I just started taking Zoloft about a month in a half ago for my mood swings and social anxiety.
Can you describe what you mean by mood swings?
> I was first put on 25mg and now I am up to 50mg. I was just wondering what is the therapeutic dosage of Zoloft?
200mg seems to be as high as most doctors would want to go. It is reasonable to increase your dosage if your doctor is so inclined.
> How long does it take to feel it's true effects.
It is hard to say. Some people begin to notice an improvement after only two weeks. For others, it can take up to 6 weeks.
> I think I feel a little better and I experience less anxiety, but can I increase my dosage and how long should I wait to increase it??? Thank you for your time & support!!
I think the conservative approach would be to allow a trial of 3 weeks before evaluating the effectiveness of a change in medication.
It sounds like you are off to a good start!
Good luck.
