In reply to crying triggers/ too empathetic/ zoloft/ buspar, posted by gingersnap on May 30, 2003, at 23:45:51
1 - since the zoloft actually seem to work on 2 of my symptoms - would upping the dose help?
>>>>>>>>>Yes, it certainly should.....Zoloft will help the crying due to its anti-depressant effect AND the obsessing due to its anti-obsessional qualities
2- What is the max dose of zoloft you can take?
>>>>>>>>I 'think' 200 mg/day is what is recommended (I don't think you would need to go anywhere near that high)
3 - If the buspar ends ups helping w/ the crying jags, can I take buspar and zoloft together?
Yes you can......the buspar is more for anxiety....Zoloft also can work for anxiety (although it can make anxiety worse for some folks due to overstimulation of the 5HT1-A receptor for some people)
If I were you, I'd try to see if the Zoloft alone could do the job (I think it can)...no use taking add'l drugs IF you don't need them. Take care!
