My teenage son has been on 200mg of Zoloft for a year for OCD. I was under the impression this was the maximum dosage allowed. Many other drugs have been tried in the past. It was suggested to me that we increase the dose to 250. I am trying to find out if this is done in practice and if this dose is felt to be safe. When I read the literature about Zoloft it always talks about 200 as the maximum dose. I am willing to increase if it will help him but want to make sure it is safe. He is undergoing CBT as well.

Thanks so much

According to Swedish guidelines for psychiatrists, the maximum dose is 200 mg, but a psychiatrist may make another asessment and recommend a higher dose. You will in such a case have to decide if you trust your psychiatrist.
