Its been 6 months i been on sertraline at 25mgs the first coplue of weeks the side effects was aweful but got better i was myself again then maybe 3 weeks ago i started to feel my anxiety creep back on me so i decided to up my dose per my doctor to 50mg and i must say i felt the side effects again dizzy for the first couple days, tired and increase anxiety hot feeling in back of my neck etc. Its been 12 days since my increase and i have good days and bad days. My question is this normal to feel like this?? Somtimes i think the increase to 50 making me worse or like i have serotonin syndrom lol or maybe its just my anxiety kicking my butt. Let me know if anyone felt this please

It is totally normal to have the side effects again with an increase. The anxiety is the worst but it should get better soon. Try to hang in there!

Every time we increase, the side effects come back but don't worry, it will get better.

Also, check to make sure the brand of sertraline hasn't changed!
