3 week blip from increase

Posted , 4 users are following.

HI guys,

i increased to 75mg three weeks ago and only now am i starting to get some extreme anxiety and agitation. This seems to happen to me with every increase around this time. It also happened when i went to 50 from 25. Altogether i have been in sertraline about a year.

Has anyone else experienced this type of thing quite far into an increase? Any replies appreciated.

    Hi, Daniel

    It always happens when you increase but settles down after a while.

    I am on 200 mg now. Feel much better than I did but the side effects initially were horrendous. Stick with it and eventually you'll be great.

    hi yes this happens to me sometimes its instant sometimes its delayed i feel like it must be when it hits peak level in our brains, the fact youve said it happens everytime is reassuring to know its just temporary however awful it is its just short term! (i wish i could follow my own advice) lol keep me posted as im going through this too at the moment! it takes me 4 weeks to level after each increase šŸ˜ƒ
