Immediate help needed please!!

Posted by msurtees on January 6, 2004, at 4:15:01

I take my Zoloft every evening at 8:30pm. I've never missed a dose...until last night I plum forgot!

I don't know what to do: take one asap or just skip it and wait until tonite.

Any advice would be welcome.

Missing one zoloft should not be a problem. If taking one this morning won't cause a side effect problem, you could take one, or half a pill if you can break them. Or you could wait till 8:30.

Don't worry!

You are ok! Don't worry. take it now if you can, and then again at bedtime. Just know that you might feel a little tired today because of it. You won't feel any side effects by taking it- if you don't take it, though, you might find yourself having an off day tomorrow or the next.

I would suggest calling your doctor or pharmacist. Either of them should be able to tell you what to do in case you miss a dose. Or, Zoloft might have a web site with the drug info on it. Drug info sheets usually tell you what to do in case you have missed a dose.

Good point! Usually when you fill a script, they give you a sheet of info about the med- and those usually tell you what to do when you skip a dose.

But don't worry too much, as I said before- we have all accidentally missed and the first time we all did it, we all freaked out (at least I know *I* did :p)
