Mums on Zoloft (Sertra)

[Jessica15A]

I was put on Sertraline about 8 weeks ago due to relapse. 2 weeks ago my psych upped my dose to 100mg. I’ve been feeling worse. Is this normal? :( there is also lots going on in my family with my dad being terminally ill. We almost lost him a week ago. So I do think that given the circumstances it’s bound to happen that if feel low but I just want my old self back. I feel very low, not enjoying things I used to. My anxiety was through the roof since upping my dose but seems to have calmed a bit. I was prescribed xanax 1mg which helps. Just looking for some encouragement. I really don’t want to change Meds again. I did so well on the sertra when I started. Today is Day 14. I know my psych suggested I stay on the 50mg for a month before he upped it. Anyone been the same and will it get better?

Thank you all 🌸

Hi, I can't give you any advice as I'm currently on week 5 of the same drug. 4 weeks on 50mg and 1 week 100. My anxiety got worse so they upped it to 100 last week and I've felt ok since last night and now I feel terrible again. They can take a good 8 weeks to work so they say, maybe you need to give it a bit more time on the higher dose and if there's no change in a week or 2 speak to your doctor. I hope you feel back to yourself soon

Thank you. It’s horrible feeling like this. 🙁
