    That’s a good question, maybe your not giving it enough time to get into your system between doses, maybe you haven’t hit your right mg yet, or possibly sertraline is not the right anti depressant for you??

      Thanks joe for your reply/. I’ve decided to to cut my dose down back to 50 so I made a post asking about it.

    Yea alot would say that indicates you need to continue increasing the dose until that low feeling  doesnt occur once youve adjusted to the new dose increase. Im not sure i buy that, i am also currently lowering my dose from 100-85-75 and im noticing moments of increased anxiety as well as moments of brief calm/minor euphoria. Not sure what to think overall... good luck regardkess
