Sertraline Health Feed

Sizopin and serlift are medication for different purpose to combine with ativan and other drugs is not a good idea. I am not sure why were all these drugs combined in the first place. Please be careful in combining all these drugs.

Dear Saranya,
Serlift takes 2-3 weeks to start its action. Please note that it works at a certain dose. If 25 mg does not work in 3 weeks, you need to go back to the doctor so that she/he can increase the dose.

Good morning!
yes, you can stop serlift if your doctor has advised you to do so since it is a very small dose you will not have any side effects of withdrawal. I hope this helps. If you continue to have concerns or questions you can book a second consultation opinion appointment online and the Lybrate staff will help you with the same.
Take care and have a lovely day!

It depends on multiple factors like the clinical diagnosis, intensity of the illness at the start of treatment, the extent of dysfunction, genetic risk and how you adjust when your dose gets reduced or missed. After evaluating these factors, then only your doctor would be able to tell the duration of your treatment.

There are better medications which produce total remission of symptoms compared to zotral, consult a psychiatrist, if already consulting one, get a 2nd opinion and try alternate medication. All the best.

Hello! first of all can you tell me why are planning to start sertraline treatment? Duration of treatment depends on the illness and how compliant the patient is to treatment. In addition psychotherapy also helps.
