I've recently been increased from 100mg to 150mg of Sertraline and am feeling really awful.... dry mouth, lethargic, tired, lack of concentration and lots of headaches... has anyone else experienced this??

    Hi 

    hi iv been on the same dose of 25mg for 5 months, I gather from being on this forum that every time you up it you get the side effects again.

    hope someone else replys to you confirming this for you.

    hope it all settles down for you soon

    Hi,

    I'm only on 50mg and started last week and got those symptoms apart from headaches. Is the dry mouth headache like a dehydration do you think and you maybe need to up your water intake?

      Hi Bev, glad to know it's not just me, although would be better if we didn't suffer from any of the side effects. I've increased my intake of fluids but still feeling really dry although i am Diabetic too x
