Increased sertraline dosage = side effects?
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi there-
About two weeks ago I increased my sertraline dosage from 50mg to 75mg. I’ve noticed mood swings, very mild panic attacks, and crazy insomnia. Is this normal? Or could it be caused from something else?
Thanks in advance.

Oh heck I'm thinking of increasing mine to 75 from 50 but not sure now . How long was you on 50mg and why did you up it ?

I was on 50mg for about a year. I upped it just to see if it would improve my anxiety and mood further. So far it’s doing the opposite. 😂
I’ll give it some more time.

So did the 50mg work for a while and did you see an improvement . I'm on 50mg for 8 weeks with little change really and just wondering how long to hang on for ?

I am one of those highly-sensitive people, so for me even going from 25 to 50 mg was a gradual adjustment with the increasing feeling of a pounding heart beat, more freaked out with panic feelings, etc. I think that is totally normal as long as it doesn't carry out longer than 4 weeks. We have anxiety and/or panic, so of course our minds are going to behind-the-scenes freak out a little (whether emotionally or physically) when a change in our chemical make-up happens. Try to take it easy on yourself and relax when you do "notice" the things you say. I'm increasing soon. I will follow my own advice We're all in this together!! xx
