I started taking 50mg sertraline at the end of November 2016 for depression panic attacks and severe anxiety.

I upped my doses slowly as it cured my depression almost overnight

Then at easter this year I upped to 100mg hoping to get rid of the anxiety

It helped but not 100% so in august I upped to 150mg...bingo

Apart from a few bad days a month I thought I was home and dry

Then five days ago I started feeling very weird

Nott sressed not pannicky or anxious....

As if all of them put together...but manageable...I know it sounds weird

I've googled...and came up with jitteriness????

I am starting to feel better now again

I feel as if I don't need to up to 200mg

Do you think it was a blip?

Or would you suggest also taking an anti anxiety tablet when I have bad days....would really appreciate your replies😇
