Is it okay if I skip one day of my Zoloft prescription?

Ive taken zoloft for years.  Missing one dose has caused a lot of problems with me and my emotional state.  It isnt good to do that because you throuw your whole system off for weeks, and that is why they say that prescriptions usually take 4-6 weeks to kick in or whatever time frame:  so that your body can get used to it, and the inhibitors within the drug can take it's sweet time to effect your brain and fill in the chemical imbalances.  I also take thyroid pills and I get knocked off course if I miss one dose, and it lasts a couple weeks for me (even if I continue taking it again) to even get back to normal, and I feel down and depresed the entire time.  it isnt worth it, try your hardest to remember to take them, especially zoloft, you dont want to continue feeling miserable until your body gets back on course, do you?  That is why you are taking them in the first place.  Ty and think of ways you can remember to take them, I have so many pills it's gotten easier for me to remember, but missing a dose can really mess up your mind and cause your body to slow down with whatever is going on that you need it.  Good luck, Ive been in the same boat for 12 years

The time is not important, neither is whether you take it with food or not. Just make sure you take the entire course of pills prescribed to you.

It can be your missing pills - I stupidly tried to down my anti depressants 2 days ago and halved my dose - today I am having a really bad day xxx

Do not ever substitute a medication. If you have a walgreens or walmart in your area, they are open today even though it is a holiday.

You should never abruptly stop an SSRI medication.  (selective Seritonin Reuptake Inhibitor)  However, you should not experience headaches after a 2 day miss.  \n\nHope this helps.

It takes one day to recover for each time zone you went through. Best thing is to take a tranquilizer... maybe half of one. It may be enough to get you to sleep. Don't take a sleeping pill. They'll knock you out for eight hours.

When I came off my antidepressants I did it over 6 months, gradually reducing the dose every couple of weeks.  I think your doctor was wrong to tell you to be treatment less for a week, but that is just my opinion.  Go back and see him and tell him how you feel!...;

i just started again yesterday.  i had been taking it a few years ago, but stopped because i was "feeling better" (bad idea, by the way).  so far i'm not sure i'm  feeling anything, but the doc also has me on xanax 3 times a day and it's making me SO sleepy.  i feel like i can't function.  i don't know if it is a combination of the two, or the fact that i'm taking so much xanax each day, but i'm definitely going to call the doctor on monday and find out if i can lower the dosage or something...i think maybe you should do the same.  go to www.zoloft.com and you can find out what side effects can occur.  good luck!

I am uncertain how Zoloft would affect you. If you feel sleepy from it at all,it could very well be affecting your memory. Depression itself can affect your memory. If this continues, speak to your doctor as you may be overmedicated. Good Luck

Trying to skip school today?

Yes. They are VERY addictive and can make you drowsy OR very anxious during the day. Don't do it! Call your physician instead.

YES!!! When I take just half an Adipex I don't feel like eating for nearly two days, the down side: That rush of energy you get doesn't last and you end up feeling like crap towards the end of the day. They also keep you from sleeping. As far as on-line VS prescription I honestly have no idea because I've never ordered on-line

not to worry, basically what she can do is skip one day from the pill and continue taking the rest of her package for that month, missing one pill is fine as long as she doesn't keep missing them, i have had the same thing happen to me, also if she does happen to have a habit of missing her pills she may want to try going on the patch, you wear it for one week then change it, and she can wear one every week, and if has plans one week like going to the beach she wears the patch so she doesn't get her period, it has the same hormones as the pill does, just in a patch form and it is much more convenient. Hope this Helps!
