Sertraline increase advice

[Jenkibubble]

I upped my dose from 50 to 100 (2 weeks ago ) and I feel awful - same lows fewer highs !
I do have a virus so wondering if that isn’t helping ( not seen gp yet but possibly will )
I take it at night - would morning be better or splitting the tablet perhaps !
I have zero enjoyment despite forcing myself to do stuff eg read , walk . I feel, guilt , cry for no reason , motivation is zero and small things huge effort ( if kids not here I don’t cook )
I can’t really open up to family as not close by .
I can’t be completely honest with friends either . Counselling isn’t doing much
How long do I give the meds before asking for a different one ?

I'd give it another few weeks, I'm currently on 50mg have been since August, these past few weeks I can feel rhat their not working as well as they did. I'm going to ask my GP to up them

My gp did say I'd feel worse before I felt better when I took them.

I've been on mitrazaphine, citalopram? And sertraline in the past. Sertraline seems to work best for me

I know what you mean though, the last few weeks I just have zero motivation or energy to do anything, its horrible,

I’d give it longer yet. I’m on 200mg, I think each time I increased was a few months apart.

Thanks both of you - appreciate your replies
