What Is The Maximum Dose Of Sertraline?
Hi Dr. I have been on Sertraline, 100 mg /2tabs/ day as prescribed for approx. 3-4 years. It has helped my anxiety/depression without any noticeable side effects. Is there a certain amount of time you can safely be on this medication? Is there a need in some people to have the dose over 200mg or is this the maximum ? I m scheduled to see my new clinical specialist/nurse practicinier in Feb, my other Dr. retired after 35 years, good Dr. As he is not a Dr. are there any questions I should ask him about dose amounts etc. ? Thank You in advanvce Steve .PS. I didn t realize there would be a charge for one ? thanks anyway
