Hi everyone. Today is my 10th week of taking Sertraline. As i've previously posted, i've seen positive improvements with this drug but am still not where i would like to be and would like to start working again soon.

Can anyone tell me their experience of increasing their dose? Was it as bad as the first few weeks? Did you see improvement quickly?

I have been taking 50mg for 10 weeks and having been struggling to come to a decision of whether to increase to 100. I would like to feel better but dont want to go through the hell side effects again. Thanks

      Hi Weenett yes I was thinking this too. This may be a really stupid question but do you take two tablets if you take 100mg or are there 100mg tablets?

      Hi Kate, I was on 100 for 7 years and upped my dose to 150 and I had to go through all the side effects again but that doesn't mean you will. Tomorrow will be 9 weeks for me and I am still not where I want to be.
