    Just relax. Im no doctor but i think doubling up on a dose isnt going to hurt you too bad. Its not ideal, but if you start to feel shaky/ have tremors id go to the doctor/hospital. Hope youre well.

    I’m on 200mg Sertraline for many years I think it’s more beneficial than harm if you take 200 nothing wrong will happen just relax it’s light medicine I started with 50mg and now I’m on200mg I feel much better even though you took it by mistake no worries

    Skip your next dose. Try to relax and not worry. You might feel awfull, but it will only last a day :-) it’s not dangerous
