> Does a booster antidepressant to Zoloft make sense? I'm terrified of changing antidepressants, but I also know if my mood continues to deteriorate it's just as risky.

> Thanks!Yes it makes sense. There are several options that can augment Zoloft, Wellbutrin as creepy mentioned, but also Remeron, Lamictal, modafinil, T3, Lithium or buspirone. The Zoloft-Wellbutrin is a recognized and often effective combo, it goes under the name Well-loft, I would try that first.
