Took Zoloft 50 mg yesterday morning by accident - concerned!?

Question

I was supposed to be taking an aspirin for a morning headache, but later found out that I had taken a Zoloft 50 mg pill. I'm on a regimen of Dexedrine, 10 mg a day, three times a day, so 30 mg a day. I had taken my first dose of Dexedrine in the morning, then taken the Zoloft afterward, and then continued with my other two doses of Dexedrine later in the day before finding out last night that it was in fact my sisters Zoloft that I had taken in the morning, which might explain why I felt a bit less anxious yesterday morning, but really anxious this morning. Also, when I “did my thing” last night, I noticed there was something seriously wrong, there was less desire to get hard, it was harder to get hard, then when I did go it was alarmingly not intense. I called the poisons centre this morning and they told me the two drugs can make each other stronger, and there was a low risk of serotonin syndrome. This isn't going to be a permanent thing is it? Zoloft doesn’t burn the nerves in the brain or anything? How long till this goes away?

Answer 1

Do not worry about the Zoloft.  As with all antidepressants it has to build up in your system.  One 50 mg tablet is not going to hurt you.

You will probably be anxious today, because that is well above the inital starting dose.  

It will not cause any permanent damage, and your s*x life will return to normal.

It should be completely out of your system sometime today or tomorrow.
