Hi, new poster here!

I was prescribed 50mg sertraline about 5 weeks ago for anxiety that I've had all my life, about a week ago that got upped to 75mg and for two days I've been taking 100mg.

When I started the 50mg course, my anxiety seemed worse/just as bad until week 3/4 when it became a little bit more bearable... I even got out of bed in the morning!

Since upping to 75/100 mg though my anxiety seems to be getting worse sad

I can't stop connecting coincidences, my mind just makes up scenarios then obsesses over them...

I'd love to think it's just the sertraline affecting me, but I really can't bring myself to believe that sad
