sertraline from 50mg to 100mg

Hi I coped well with 50mg, totally surprised myself. I was convinced I would have all the side effects, but I didn't. I have taken a 50 mg at night as well for three days and haven't felt much different up to now. I am checking myself to see if I feel different but apart from a headache occasionally there's nothing. Hope you go on ok, nothing to be frightened of anyway, if you feel rotten, just don't take the extra one that's what I was told.

Hi Julie,

I used to take 50mg in the morning and 50mg in the evening, this helped for a while, however i ended up taking it in the evening that way i slept through the side effects :D.

Good luck, keep strong!!!!

I don't think you will notice big changes Julie, as your system has already experienced Sertraline. Possibly increased tiredness, but hopefully within 2-3 weeks you will feel much more positive and calm. Best Wishes

For the first week, it spiked my anxiety but,as Daddee777 mentioned, Sertraline will already be so entrenched in your system by now, so, it wont give you too many side effects.

it's mainly due to the fact that it's a higher dose that can normally cause people some issues adjusting to the increase.

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Julie, 

I was the same but despite all this remember its your mind and body and you can control it, if you do have particular bad days just express yourself on the forum there will always be a listening ear available, if it gets really bad then see you GP but im sure you will be fine.

We have all pretty much been through or going through the same, so we can draw strength from each other, speaking from personal experience from someone who has survived Fluoxetine, Sertraline and Mertazipine, side effects are merely short term pain for long term gain.

Keep strong!!!!

All the best

Mark

You are very welcome :D 

Sorry for not replying, been out all day. I have been given 50mg tabs so I just take one in the morning and one at night. When I first took a 50mg tablet at night, I didn't sleep a wink so I changed to mid morning. However, my doctor said to save shocking your body with 100mg all at once, take the other at night. I've been fine, don't feel any different, better or worse as yet. Give it time. As someone said to me, why are you frightened of taking seratonin, it's a natural thing in your body which you just haven't got enough of!
