For anyone on Zoloft strictly for depression, does your provider ever increase your dose temporarily? For example mine increased my dose this winter because my depression is worse in the winter, but will bring it back to my regular dose once it starts to get warmer. This the first time she’s increased it I’m worried I will develop a tolerance. Thoughts?

      In my experience it’s pretty normal for antidepressants dosage to increase during the colder winter months. I live in a place where it’s warm and sunny for only 4 months of the year but when my provider decreases my dose during the summer, I feel the same. It’s important to know the feeling of being on too high of a dose. If you don’t typically feel more depressed during the colder months, maybe talk to your provider about this. I’ve always experienced seasonal depression so I can’t tell you anything different.

      it’s prolly bc she suspects or has diagnosed u with seasonal depression, she should wing you on and off of it when the time comes. i’m not so sure about tolerance but i havent any problem with tolerance yet and i’ve been on it for almost 6 months now
