    I went from 100mg to 150 mg of Sertraline a few months ago. My anxiety, panic disorder and OCD has completely gone. It had been drastically reduced on 100mg, but adding the extra 50mg has made my mood better! I was on 100mg for nearly 2 years before it was upped.

    Before this medication I spent 9 years of hardly being able to leave the house; I tried CBT, Counselling, Hypnotherapy, EFT, EMDR, Fluoetine etc! Although I have put 2 & 1/2 stone on in weight, Sertraline has changed my life - I actually have a life now!

      Jade how long did it take you to feel better on 150? I was on 100 for 7 years and went to 150 and I have been on that for 14 weeks. I am still very anxious at times and sad but I have had some really good days, I thought I did be better by now.

      Hi Vanessa

      I would say it only took a couple of months to make a difference for me. Maybe if you're still the same in another few weeks, you could go back to your Dr to see if he/she will put it up to 200mg. If you're having some really good days on 150mg, you may just need that extra 50mg to bring it all together for you
