Liquid zoloft help?
I just picked up my prescription for liquid zoloft today and it comes with a dropper that has lines for 25mg and 50mg, but no mL markings. Picked up a couple different droppers from wal-mart, and with a thread saying that each mL is 2mg of paxil, what would be the equivalent for zoloft?

Re: Liquid zoloft help?
Hi,
safest bet would be to call the pharmacist and ask him for the ml/mg conversion.

Re: Liquid zoloft help?
When I went to the pharmacist, they said that 20mg of Zoloft = 1ml.
For your case, 2mg of Paxil = 5mg of Zoloft |

1ml of liquid = 20mg of zoloft Forget about doing any comparisons to paxil, you don't need to do that. Get a small syringe, something like this(this is a "tb" syringe):

Re: Liquid zoloft help?
Thanks for the image, where do you think I could pick up a syringe this small?

Re: Liquid zoloft help?
I think a drugstore should carry them as that is what diabetics sometimes use for insulin injection.
