      Hi it's only the first day on 100mg hoping I'm not going to get any side effects think I'm panicking about it which isn't good with anxiety and a panic disorder hoping for the best.50 mg has been taking the edge off it so hoping 100 will make me so much better will keep you posted hope you find the courage to take it

    Hi Terri, well done for getting the courage to up your dose. I know myself it can be worrying, as you never know if you are going to be affected by side effects. I was on sertaline 6 months before i went from 50mg to 100mg. I didn't experience any side effects from the increase and hopefully you won't either smile

    Take care, Amy
