    Hi Cheryl, im new to this website but i myself am having the same problem as you.

    so speaking to people who are going through the same thing is making me feel like at least unfortunataly im not the only one.

    im so sorry this is happening to you. I was increased to 100mg back in October and had to leave my job due to my mental health. everything had sort of calmed down and i could get on with my day. Then a week ago i had to have my meds upped to 150mg...... Im on day 3 of taking this 100mg in morning and 50mg in the evening ans mornings are tough and the side effects are not pleasant but the main thing is that they will go away! hang in there xxx

      Hi Cheryl!

      How are you doing on 150mg now? I am at 12 weeks of sertraline. 50 for first 2wks, 100 for 9 weeks and 1 week at 150mg. I thought I felt better for a few weeks but something stressed me out and back to anxiety again!

      really interested to see if you are doing better. I hope so.

      Thanks in advance
