 What is the lowest effective dose you are on with sertraline ? I’ve heard of people taking 25 mg and 50 mg and been quite successful for anxiety that 150 to 200 as a therapeutic dose for anxiety currently I am on 50 mg very reluctant to move up I would like to hear some help at 50 mg can be therapeutic for some people.

    It works for me, I’ve been on 50mg for close to 2 months now and I feel 100% better than I did before I started. It really depends on you though, it you feel good on 50 then stay there for a while, if not then move up and see what happens! But the last thing you need to do is move up because someone tells you that’s what you need to do because 50mg didn’t work for them.

    I’ve been taking 50 mg for about 9 months now and it has been working pretty well for my anxiety and panic attacks. It takes at least 8-12 weeks before you will see the full benefits so I would wait to increase until waiting sometime.

    Hi 50 worked well for me last year and I had limited/few side effect when I decided to come off it after 6 months. Been off it a year and managing ok still have highs and lows but feel better in myself being drug free. Good luck for the future.
