Increasing Sertraline dose?

[Maccapacca88]

I’ve been on it for 2 years now and it has been brilliant for me. Over the last couple of months I have felt my anxiety gradually creeping back-especially in the morning. Thinking of going to GP and asking to increase my dose. Has anyone else done this? My side effects when I started were utterly horrific and I’m scared this will happen again. 🙁

This is exactly me. The side effects were horrible and I really don’t want to have to go through all that again what dose are you on now?.

I’m on 50mg. Really want to get sorted but terrified I’ll end up a dithering wreck for 6 weeks like I was the first time round.

Same as me. I’m thinking about maybe seeing if going up to 75mg would help that way hopefully the side effects won’t be to bad (if I’m brave enough that is😬). I found that 50mg has worked well for me up until recently and now it’s not working aswell as they once were.

Me too!
I would definitely check with your GP before increasing the dosage.

I went upto 100mg when my symptoms got worse. I felt better in myself, but couldn't stop gurning Proper jaw swinging like ecstasy from the 90s.

Think I’m going to try and book an appointment this week. Will ask about upping to 75mg. Don’t want to double the dose. Especially not quickly.

I increased my sertraline dose from 100mg to 150mg and I didn't have any side effects like I did when I started taking it, but it made a massive difference to my mood and anxiety

@mousecat how long did it take for you to feel the benefits when you were put on 150mg

Increased from 150mg to 200mg today 🤞🤞
