    Hi Jamie

    I was put on 50mg Sertraline for depression and I found after a month I still felt no better so my GP put me upto 100mg which I have been on 10days and I still feel really flat so I don't know if they are good or not to be honest. Sorry not much help

    Hi Jamie

    I am in a similar situation to you. I was prescribed 50mg back in November which didn't help my mood and anxiety levels. The dosage was upped to 100mg in January and this made a significant difference to my mood and anxiety quite quickly. Although I have been suffering from many side effects. The past couple of days I have been feeling really anxious again and will go to my gp if this carries on into next week.
