Dose increase and side effects

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi all, I take 25mg of sertraline, been on it for 2 and a half weeks. I have an appointment with gp today and wonderibg if I should increase dose but worried about the side effects. Are they often as bad when you increase the dose?

    I have increased from 50mg to 100mg, i feel dreadful!

    Tired, no energy not sleeping and small appetite.

    Just wondering if this is normal?
