Anyone doing well on sertraline 75mg’s for anxiety and stayed at that dose?
Posted , 8 users are following.
After experiencing most side effects known to this drug, I’m finally doing fairly well on 75mg’s.
Started with 25 x 10 days, 50 x 5 weeks and now at 75mg for 10 days.
GP’s plan was to go to 100mg expecting that to be the maintenance dose but I think i’ll stay at 75.
Is it too early to know?
Thoughts, experiences ?
Thanks!

Nausea was the first few days on 25mg’s.
I experienced the other side effects when increased to 50mg’s- the initial surges lasted a few days, headache about a week, low mood 2 days, insomnia up until the last few nights so the 75mg’s is curbing the sleep issue and the anxiety.
Hope that helps xx

I got worse side effects increasing than I did when starting, but they only lasted about 2 weeks!
I increased to 75mg for 1 week then 100mg for another week though. Still get anxiety but only with a trigger, it doesn't haunt my thoughts constantly anymore.

No most of the side effects were with the first increase to 50. It took about a week at 75 for the sleep and anxiety to settle. From what I’ve learned it takes generally about 6 weeks to finally feel better then it’s just tweeking the dose if needed after that.
