Hi, I'm Leminaseri
September 24, 2026··
Hello.
Im tapering off of my Zoloft. I am on them for 5 years and 9 months now. I started with 100mg and tapered so far down to 6,52mg.
I’m doing as bad as ever since my last reductions. So bad that I’m afraid, my marriage and my apprenticeship will fail altogether. So the only reasonable option left for me is to updose. I am planning to go up to 6,6mg first. If that does not cause trouble I even aim to go higher because I also miss the therapeutic effects of the drug, as bad as they are. When I compare my situation from 6 months ago, where I was on dosages like 8mg, I was doing so much better. I need to feel that again to complete my vocational training and my wife is very disturbed by my problems.
Any tips for the reupdosing? What should I be looking for when updosing? I know there are risks but staying like this and hoping that I will stabilize is no more an option because I am under severe pressure with normal life circumstances.
