Accidentally took my sertraline twice

I am on 100mg sertraline which I have taken for nearly two years. Tonight I accidently took it twice and I am panicking a bit now🤦‍♀️. I am emetophobic too and worrying will make me vomit or have a migraine which will make me feel nauseous or make me extra tired (already struggle with fatigue due to a separate medical condition).

anyone got any reassurance? x

Give 111 a call and see what they advise x

I take 200mg day.

It takes several days / weeks to get used to a new dosage so for 1 day, I’m sure you’ll be fine x

Obvs I’m not Dr so as PP says, ring 111 if you’re worried

200mg daily is a safe dose so you will be fine.

I take sertraline and accidentally taking it twice, on just one day, isn't anything to worry about. If it were me, I'd just take half a tab (just the 50) tomorrow instead of a full one to try and even it out.

Just go ahead as usual and perhaps get one of those 7 day pill boxes to help remember when you've had it in future.

Be fine x

Mental health nurse here, you will be fine.

Hollyhedge · 16/04/2025 22:59

I think you’ll be ok. Maybe miss a dose now?

I've taken twice the amount quite a few times over the years. I didn't feel any different.
