sertraline vs. zoloft

[jtl712]

I used to be on zoloft for 4 yrs and felt good...stopped for 6 months and on my 3rd week of sertraline right now not feeling as good the first time around. Is there a difference with the two drugs?

I feel just like u described. I think it's the generic that is making us feel worst than before starting the treatment...:( the one I take  is made by Lupin Pharma in India from CVS..and I just started in 25mg a day five days ago :(( I will stop it today... I can feel like this anymore! :((

You've posted on a very old thread.  You will get more replies if you start your own thread.  Your post is a bit confusing, what is your total dose, and are you taking the generic (sertraline) or the brand Zoloft?

I take 150mg daily of Zoloft but I've always been afraid this would happen. My psychiatrist told me that if this should happen that for some reason Zoloft goes sky-high in price and Pfizer stops helping you, that you may want to increase the dose as he felt the strength was less in sertraline than in Zoloft and that may be the only difference. When I couldn't afford the Zoloft after switching to medicare my Dr. increased the dosage to 200mg sertraline. What I do now is take 200mg one day and 150mg the next just to try. I honestly haven't noticed any diff by increasing the dose. It's still not the same as Brand Zoloft.

I started taking sertraline and I felt fine but they switched me  to 25mg sertraline and 50mg of Zoloft I'm getting really bad headaches now and I cannot stand because of it what do I do
