Upping dose from 100mg??

Posted , 4 users are following.

I have been on 100mg sertraline for 3 weeks after being on 50mg and them making no difference. Well 100mgs are still making no difference, can you go higher than that? As 100mg already seems a lot? And why is it not making a difference to me?😢

    Hi,

    It takes 4-6 weeks for the medication to level out.

    Like a see-saw trying to find the correct balance.

    Stick with it.

    And take a weekly view of how you feel.

    Rather than a daily one.

    Try to get plenty exercise too, that helps.

    And keep a mood diary to plot progress.

    Good luck,

    C smile

    Im currently having this problem too sad

    Started at 25mg for a week

    Upped to 50mg for a week

    On day 10 currently of 100mg.

    I seemed to be ok for the first 2 weeks but the past 10 times have been horrific.

    Hope you start to feel better and get it sorted x

      In what way have you felt horrific on 100mg Emma? I was on 50mg, first 4 days were the worst. Ive been on 100mg now for 6 days been fine but just got over terrible cramps and nausea and wondered if it was my meds or a bug.
