I’ve been on Zoloft for 2 years due to anxiety/depression… I’m 6 weeks postpartum. After giving birth I feel like my depression is coming back. I talked to my doctor he told me to increase the dosage to 200mg. I am so nervous about the side effects of the increase with a new baby. Last night i took my first dose of 200mg and didn't get bad side effects yet other than jaw clenching and insomnia. I’m wondering if anyone has increased with very minimal side effects and had positive effects
