Hello Andrew83432, Since everyone responds differently to medicines I personally would wait it out at 50 mg until week 12. That seems to be a somewhat "average" time for the Sertraline to become steady in a person's system. What does your doctor tell you? I think some doctors tend to rush the dosage upwards in patients, probably because they want to help us get well as quick as possible. But Sertraline can't be rushed, or so that's been my experience. I send you good thoughts and prayers.
