Question for those who hybrid dose (SSRIs)

Hi everyone,

For those of us who hybrid dose- what do you take daily, and then what do you add on to that during your luteal?

I take 200mg Zoloft daily. I’ve been at this dose for years now and it’s been a godsend for my overall mental health. I still really struggle during my luteal phase though, so my psychiatrist has suggested I start adding extra Zoloft during this time (aka hybrid dosing). I’ve started small- adding 25mgs for each day of luteal- but i think i need to go higher? I will ask my doctor of course, but i would love to hear from someone else who has been doing this.

I’ve searched this sub and have read through the wikis. I see some folks mention increasing their SSRI by 50% during luteal. I imagine i will have to do that (with my Dr’s approval) i’m just a little nervous since i am already at a “high” dose.

Thank you! I am wishing us all some relief and ease🙏🏻

Edit to add- i have read the rules i swear!! This is my third time trying to post this question!! Oy vey i hope it works this time😵‍💫
