Hi Carl. Yes it is normal, unfortunately all of these kind of meds make things worse before they start working for the good. do not put pressure in yourself to increase quickly, I went to 50 by taking 4 weeks at 25, 3 weeks at 37.5 then up to 50, see how you feel once you have settled on 25 and take it from there, little and slow is the way to do it so you can judge what is your correct dose, takes time but you will get there, I am 14 weeks in and apart from a couple of rough weeks have been ok

Yes I, too, experienced worse anxiety, intrusive negative thoughts, and many more typical symptoms on 25mg of Sertraline. Luckily, symptoms are now intermittent rather than constant. I plan to stay on 25mg for AT LEAST 4 more weeks before upping to 37.5mg. Hang in there, and God bless you.
