Hi guys.

10 days ago i increased Sertraline from 75 mg to 100 mg. I have been on Sertraline for a year and a half.  The first week after the increase i didn’t notice any side effects, but around day 8 my anxiety and agaition/restlessness skyrocket. Did any of you have the same experience? I’m wondering whether I should blame it on the sertraline or if it’s just stress??

    Hmm. It could just be that you were so used to the dose you were on your body just needs time to readjust. 

    How long were you taking 75mg?

    For me the first week was crappy but the second week was really good. After that I noticed that I was starting to slide downhill so I upped to 125. That increase really only bothered me for a day.
