Another sertraline one - increase?

I've name changed for this.
I've been on sertraline for about four months now. 50mg has drastically improved my life. I feel like the person I was always supposed to be. Things stopped worrying me, I stopped over thinking and I had the emotional energy to be fun for the kids.
However, last few weeks or maybe a month or so, I feel like anxiety is creeping back a little. I am thinking things over and worrying about what I said, did I talk too much, am I being insensitive? Etc etc. I also am having terrible sleeps still. I do have young children so it's a bit linked to this.

Long story short, should I ask to increase my prescription? Is 50mg considered low and what are the signs to increase? I am a people pleaser and try not to stir things up so can see myself saying I'm still fine when something deep down says I'm not 100% OK.

50mg is quite low, I didn't really see any changes with that dose. I'm on 200mg and have been for a couple of years now. It's worked wonders for me 🙂

50mg is low, yes. It was my starting dose. I was on up to 250mg for most of my time taking sertraline

Thanks, How can I ask for a higher dose?
