Increasing sertraline causing worse anxiety

0 replies

Arraminta · Today 09:41

Ten years ago I started sertraline because I was really struggling with perimenopause anxiety and low mood. Overall it's worked well and completely got rid of the anxiety.

I'm nearly 56 and it looks like my periods are finally, finally stopping because I've not has a period since February. But over the last month the horrible anxiety has come back. It comes and goes.

So, 5 days ago I increased the dose from 100mg to 125mg. Until yesterday I felt fine, quite calm etc, but since last night the anxiety has just got worse. How long do I stick it out for?
