Hi,
i went from 50-75-100 and honestly had really bad side effects each time. really weird lightheaded feeling, rapid heart, heart flutters and more. The lightheaded feeling is so bizarre as its not your normal dizzy feeling. I am not reducing and coming off them.

thanks so much for the reply. its the lightheadedness I'm really struggling with. I'm due back in work next week and really worried about how I'm gonna cope. im hoping it will level out soon on 75 and the side effects will ease up, i hardly slept last night and felt all tense and agitated.

I can tell you that increasing your dose of Sertraline can have side effects, although it may vary from person to person. Some common side effects include nausea, headache, drowsiness, increased anxiety, and stomach cramps.
It's important to talk to your doctor before increasing your dose of Sertraline or any other medication, as they will be able to advise you on the best course of action based on your individual health and medical history. Your doctor will also be able to monitor you for any side effects and adjust the dose if necessary.
In general, it's best to start with a low dose and gradually increase it as tolerated. This can help to minimize the risk of side effects. If you experience any side effects when increasing your dose, be sure to contact your doctor right away.
