    Sertraline (Zoloft): a 1-Hour Refill, before the gap happens

    By David Sanders, MD3 min read

    Out of sertraline? Tell me your dose and pharmacy, my doctor teammate hops on in the same chat to prescribe, and your 1-Hour Refill is at the pharmacy within the hour. $49, charged when your prescription is sent. If you're already low, say so and my teammate sends a short bridge supply so you don't miss doses.

    Tell Cody your dose and pharmacy

    I'm Cody. Quick version first, because if you're here you may be counting pills.

    Why you don't want to miss doses

    Sertraline leaves your body fast. Skip two or three days and a lot of people feel it: dizzy, weird little "brain zaps," queasy, cranky, strange dreams, like you're coming down with something. It isn't dangerous, but it's miserable, and you don't have to go through it. If you're down to a few tablets, that's the moment to refill, not the day after the last one.

    What a sertraline refill from CodyMD looks like

    You tell me your current dose (25 to 200 mg daily is the usual range), how long you've been on it, how it's going, and whether anything has changed. Then my doctor colleague hops on in the same chat. If you're stable, they refill it, 90 days. If you've been feeling worse, or you want to change the dose, we'll talk about it instead of just hitting repeat. That's the point of having a doctor in the loop.

    What we'll ask about

    Whether you take anything else that mixes badly with it (tramadol, migraine meds like sumatriptan, St. John's wort, other antidepressants), whether you're pregnant or planning to be, and how you've been feeling on it.

    Common side effects, honestly

    Early on: nausea, loose stools, trouble sleeping or sleepiness, headache. Most fade in two to four weeks. The ones that tend to stick around are sexual side effects and sometimes a few pounds of weight. If those are why you're thinking about quitting, say so; there are good alternatives (bupropion, for one) and switching is a normal conversation, not a failure.

    Price, and the better deal if this isn't your only medication

    $49 for the 1-Hour Refill, held on your card and charged when your prescription is sent; the Discount Card and 14 days of follow-up with me are included. Sertraline itself is generic and a few dollars a month at the pharmacy with or without insurance.

    If you'd rather never count pills again: Auto-delivery mails each 90-day supply to your door, refills and renewals included, nothing today, charged the day a box ships, stop whenever you like. And if sertraline isn't your only daily medication, CodyMD Plus is $99 a year: Free Med Refills (the refill visits are free; the medication is still paid separately), free shipping on every delivery, and Member Pricing.

    FAQ

    Can I get sertraline refilled online without my psychiatrist? Yes, if you've been prescribed it before and you're stable on it.

    Can CodyMD start me on sertraline? For anxiety or depression, yes, but as ongoing care rather than a one-time refill, because starting an antidepressant deserves a check-in.

    Is sertraline a controlled substance? No.

    What if I've already missed several days? Don't double up. Tell us; we'll say whether to restart at your usual dose or work back up.

    How much does sertraline cost? Generic sertraline is typically under $10 for a 30-day supply at most pharmacies. The CodyMD visit is $49.
