iv been advised to increased sertraline from 50 to 75 Iv had a really rough couple of days crying and anxious will someone tell me I'll be ok I'm about to take this and I'm so scared of increasing please help Iv been on 50 for 3 months and had been feeling ok but also underactive thyroid been playing up so scared it's just that or hormones and trying to talk myself out of taking the increase here please let someone be on at this time that can help me

Hi thks so much for asking was really overanalysing everything yest so tried to distract myself was hard tho and stil scared this morn but I want to give this a try I hope I divided it ok does it have to be exact it was as exact ly a quarter as well as I cud do and how long do you think I shd stay on the quarter extra I really appreciate the support and I have to be hopeful this will work x

You could try the quarter extra for 3 or 4 days, then try the 25mcg extra for a few days. Then up to 50.. If that seems too much after a few days, try taking the 50 just every other day.

Thank you I diddnt think about doing that I will keep tryin the quarter for a few days dreaded getting up this morn but generally feel like that anyway then I will try the half 25 mcg for a day day how I feel do you think I should notice a difference in mood I know ads aren't the answer to all my problems tho Iv a lot of hair loss and lost quite a bit of weight so have to try and get that sorted as how I look can get me down too by the way Iv been referred to a cpn who will not discuss medication with me I actually feel like not going back to her as she shouted at me the last time I asked her about the increase and needing reassurance which Iv got nowhere else but here that's why I'm reaching out for the support I need xx

It takes a while to notice a difference. In my experience, other people notice a difference before you do. Can be a couple of weeks, and with you gradually upping the dose, it might take an extra week.

Thanks for that I will persevere wish I diddnt feel so scared all the time x

I know, it's horrible being ill. It isn't you, it's the illness, and the meds should help.

Big cyber hugs!

I'm trying to remember that thank you so much xx
