sertraline for 7 weeks
Posted , 5 users are following.
Been on sertraline for 7 weeks - 5 weeks on 50mgper day and 2 weeks on 100mg per day. Some days not too bad but anxiety is still there especially when I wake up. Will this get better ?

did you start on a low dose of Sertraline that was gradually increased? When I saw my GP last week she seemed reluctant to increase my dose. I'm currently on 100mg for the past 3 weeks.

I don't think my GP has much experience of patients with Depression / anxiety. She's lovely, just very young & I got the feeling she's not sure what to do with my meds. I'm back to the docs again tomorrow, so I'll see what she thinks.
take care Mark, hope you feel better soon.

I started on 50mg Sertraline in October last, & the dose was increased to 100mg about 3 weeks ago now. When I wake in the morning I am very anxious & this lasts on and off till evening. Not sure if anxiety is a side effect or not. I also have night sweats & dry mouth & tongue occasionally.
the consensus of opinion is that I was on a low dose that clearly wasn't working, but hopefully will start to kick in soon now that I'm on a higher dose.
