Experiences with sertraline

[NeatAnt]

hi On day 16 of sertraline 25mg for anxiety

still feeling really anxious
feeling lost as i thought i would be feeling a lot better by now
think i need to increase my dose
what's your experiences with sertraline , when did you feel better , what mg were you on , how long did the side affects last , did it work for you
thanks

I'm not an expert, but I thought that 50mg was the lowest effective dose. I would have expected you to do a fortnight on 25mg and then up it 50mg (which is what I did).

I've been on 50mg for over a year now and just feel normal again, no anxiety or twitchiness, which is great.

Speak to your provider and ask if you can double the dose. Mine kicked in very quickly once it was at 50mg, but I know lots of people who are on higher than this.

That's an exceptionally low dose, my 8 year old (non verbal, severe autism, high anxiety) is on 20mg as a starting dose). I hope you feel better soon x

thanks

yes i need to go doctors this week to increase my dose
