Is it possible to overdose on zoloft?
I take sertraline hydrochloric (zoloft) for major depression, I haven't taken it in about two weeks, which i'm not supposed to do, I've considered taking more than my prescribed amount (200mg) to make up for it and to see if it makes me feel any better. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone knows the highest dose you can take that won't cause an overdose.
If it helps, i weigh roughly 60kg and am 5"10. Thanks

Do NOT do that.
Straight off of their web sight:
What should I do if I forget a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Taking more than the prescribed amount could be really dangerous, and you don't know how a higher dosage would affect your body. From what I understand (I'm on the same medication, but for a different reason) 200mg is already a pretty high dosage to be on. I wouldn't risk hurting your body by taking more than what you should.
