Been on sertraline 12 weeks now at 50mg. First few weeks were rough with side effects. I'd say after 6 weeks I was feeling really good, but now this past week or so Ive noticed intrusive thoughts creeping back in.

Should I talk to my GP about upping my dose? I'm hesitant to do so as I dont want to go through another raft of side effects. Should i got to 75? I had previously been on 50 mg a few years ago for about 18 months & it worked wonders.
