    I increased a week ago from 50 to 75 and so far haven't had any side effects. Hopefully it'll continue this way and I'll start feeling better soon.

    Hope you continue to do well.

    Hi. Could I ask why you went up

    My GP advised me to go to 100 from 50 because of insomnia

    By a psychiatrist told me to switch to mertazapine

    Which I did with immediate good impact

    But due to the weight side impact I think if 100 sertraline is worth going for it would be better?

      Hiya. 50mg was working for 6 months but was still having bad anxiety but no where near what is was like before however for the last month I have been having more bad days than good so I was advised to go to 75 and gradually work up to 100. The thing is I'm not good with taking meds as I always think I'm going to panic or freak out so I take baby steps. I know it's me that causes this as this drug seems to really work. Putting on weight I would welcome e as im so thin at the moment.

      I was on mertizapine years ago but it made no differnce except I had some really strange

      Good luck x
