Increasing Sertraline dosage..

4 replies

I'm on sertraline for anxiety, and unsurprisingly my anxiety has risen over the last few weeks with Lockdown etc.
Spoke to GP, who has increased my dosage from 50mg to 100mg.
I know when I first started taking it, the first couple of weeks were rough to say the least.

I'm starting the new dosage tomorrow, and hoping it's not going to make me feel sick etc like it did when I first started.
Obviously if it does, it does, just wondering what to expect...

I increased mine some months ago from 50 to 100 and did not - thankfully - get any of the same side effects as when I first started it. Hope it works for you.

Thank you @Carlton08
Just taken the first one, so fingers crossed

I increased mine from 50mg to 100mg in january and to be honest it wasnt the right move for me so I've slowly come back down again. I felt like a complete robot, devoid of any emotions at all. Went down to 75mg and started to feel a bit better and now just started back at 50mg. I'd rather feel a bit of anything (albeit anxiety) than nothing at all. Having said that, we are all different so i hope it helps you 💐
