After some help, I am currently coming to the end of week 4 of being on sertraline for anxiety. I felt more like my old self within week 3. But this week I seem to have gone backwards. I suffer with IBS and this week I had a bad bout of an IBS flare up and I don't seem to have recovered back from it. This morning i woke up with really bad anxiety, similar to the way i felt in the first week. I am only currently taking 50mg and I have read on some of the other forums that others have increased this to 75mg? Has anyone else experienced this?
