My son has been taking Zoloft for 7 months. It took gradual increases in dosage to get him to the point where he is stable and reasonably content. This took at least 60 days to achieve. I believe over time there is a build up in one's system which helps with stability. He takes 75 mg now as we discovered 100 mg was too much. On 100 mg there was a kind of euphoria which was a little extreme. he always takes it in the mornings at the same time. He also needs Zyprexa which is for Schiz. and he gets that at night before bed. He is attending a large busy high school now, which would have been impossible to do without Zoloft. Zoloft dosage is critical and a 10 mg deviation one way or the other or a combo with other meds can cause noticable behavioral changes right away in some people. Hope this helps. Good Luck!
