    Above 100mg I found constantly vivid dreams coming back in snippets during the day at peculiar times.

    Hi, im not sure what difference the half dose would make. what was your original perscribed dose ? id go with that, give it 4 weeks and see your doctor to assess. 16 days isnt long enough, good news is youvre starting to see some improvement. good luck x

      why do you keep upping and decreasing your dose? surely after 8 years you know how this drug works, every time you up or decrease you will get side effects, ive only upped it once and that was more than enough for me. It took me 18 weeks to feel better and i would never want to go back to feeling like that, at the time i didnt know they were side effects and i really suffered! I have been on sertraline 17 years and i would never put myself through that again. Try and and stay at one dosage for at least 3 months to give it time to work. xx

      I think you could be right about the uneven doses, i have been cutting a 50mg into 4 the last few weeks and last week my anxiety came back in full swing. I was trying to take 62.5mg but the quarters were very uneven, ive now gone back up to 75mg and hoping this is just a bleep for me. Has your anxiety evened out now?

    Hi I've been on 75mg a week now, not feeling too good, I know I have to be patient but it's very hard. I'm on bindo I've been on it many years, and because they are generic I don't like mixing brands so that's why I have been cutting them up 😥
