Posted on Sun, 21 Oct 2018
Question: I am nervous because I am increasing my dose from 25 to 50 mg of zoloft in a few days. I am so sensitive to medications and had some serious fatigue and anxiety and irritability when i started the meds at 25. So i am just curious what to expect. I am not feeling better at 25 so im gonna move up to 50 soon. Please get back to me.

Brief Answer:
You may see slight restlessness

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for using ask a doctor service

I can understand your problem. There is no risk in increasing the dose. You might have slight restlessness in increasing the dose and this might present with slight epigastric distress, otherwise you will be fine. No need to get worried. You are already on 25 mg dose so you will not notice anything on increasing the dose to 50.

Thanks
