Hi first time on here, I am going to start taking sertaline again, haven't done so for around a year but feel I need to, I was on 100mg, a lesser dose did not help but bit worried about going straight on to 100mg, has anyone done the same? Any advice would be most welcome, thanks

    I have gone off and on for a third time always started at 25for a week then 50 for a couple of weeks then if no improvement up to 75 ! Personally I wouldn't like being put straight on a high dose

    Hi, I went from 100 straight to 200, all was good for a while but now I can't cope with the nightmares.
