Upping sertraline.. nausea?

I’ve been on 50mg of sertraline for about a year and been fine, but after a terrible year I was starting to struggle so the doctor advised I upped it to 100mg. I feel so sick and anxious all the time since upping it. I have no appetite as I just feel nauseous all the time. Is this normal and will it wear off?

How long have you been on 100mg?
Could you take half a tablet?

As in 1 50mg and half so your taking 75mg roughly to see if it eases off.

I started 100mg about a week or so ago but I was taking 2 x 50mg. I’ve just started a packet of 100mg and it’s since starting those that I’ve felt worse x

Ask the gp for two 50mg doses - maybe split taking it at different time might help.
