I'm on 100mg and being moved up to 150mg as after it making me feel calmer I'm going back to how I felt before being on it.

50mg. Was on 75 for a while, but tapered back down and seem fine again on 50

Have been moved up from 50mg to 100mg. Seems fine at the moment. Apparently 100mg is half a dose

Currently 50g just done 24 days. Its calmed the chatter in my head significantly but think doctor increasing this week

I'm on 150. Felt like the right dosage for me. You can taper up and down to get the right dosage for you. I was exactly the same as you and felt that the initial improvement was wearing off but I stabilised on 150.

Started on 50mg, then 100mg and moved up to 150mg during a period of intense stress. Tapered myself back down to 100mg when I felt it was right. I think when I'm ready I'll try 75mg but am doing it in my own time without having to ask permission from my GP.

150mg got me through some tough times last year so I'm in no rush to come off entirely; there's no shame as far as I'm concerned and sertraline has worked very well for me. 💐

Thank you for all your replies. I've picked up the 150mg today and will start them tomorrow.

🤞 Like @nodiggetynodoubt this will be the right dose for me.

Day two of the higher dose and I'm feeling a bit light headed and feel spaced out - I'm assuming this is normal and will die down?

I'm on 50g hoping to increase. My sister increased her dosage, and I remember her saying she felt a little bit loopy. She did calm down, so hopefully you will too x

I take 200mg which is working well for me. The extra side effects should settle after a few days. As I understand it this isn't a particularly high dose, it seems quite common.
