Sertraline

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hello folks, hope your day has not been too bad. I was feeling not too awful for 2 weeks on 25mg sertraline. Taken 50gm last 2 days and now and again terrible anxiety. Has anybody ever tried 25mg and 50mg on alternative days? Is it wise to even try?

    My doc told me when going up to 100, take 50 one day then 100 then 50 I did that for 4 days then went onto 100. The thing I find is when your anxiety is bad, it's a job to tell if your having a symptom or a side effect. I would discuss with your gp before doing anything though. I always do. 😊

      Hi I went from 25 to 50, after being on 25 for 4 weeks and like you was doing ok on 25 but felt I just needed a bit more, also got back the anxiety with the increase so dropped down to 37.5 for a couple of weeks till I settled then went up to 50, that was 5 weeks ago and I had no problems with the increase. I am no doctor and it may work for you but in my mind I think you need to be consistent with your doses so up and down may not be a good idea
