"i was diagnosed with major depression 6 years ago when i was 18 years old. i was started on 100mg of zoloft. you hear the commercials about side effects of ssris about how they can &quot;increase suicidal thoughts in children and young adults&quot;. well zoloft did that to me and made my depression even worse until i eventually was suicidal and was hospitalized.  then they switched me to 60mg celexa and i have never had any problems with it! i&#039;ve been on it for 5 1/2 years and the only side effect i have is low libido.  the fda lowered the max recommended dose to 40mg so my doctor lowered my dose too. i have been okay on 40mg but i wish i was still allowed to have the 60mg. i wonder why the max dose got lowered?"
