Should I increase my dosage?

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi all, I have taken sertraline for many years off and on.  Recently my anxiety has increased.  I've gained about 17 pounds...I needed to as I was under weight.  I am wondering if I may need to increase my dosage since I've gained weight?  Has anyone else had this issue?  Thoughts?  Thanks everyone!

    I'm not too sure what you mean here, but I can tell you that I also have put on alof of weight since taking these tablets and Propanolol, probably in the region of 2st lol which sucks, if you want to put on more weight I would definitely suggest doing it a more legit way than increasing tablets but as I say from the way you have worded it I can't really get what you are meaning 

    Cheers

      Sorry for the confusion.  The sertraline was working until recently.  The only difference is that I have gained weight.  So, I wonder if my body is requiring more since I weigh more.

      No i dont think that is quite how it works lol you require more if your brain needs more

      Ok lol!  I don't know why my brain needs more now.  I don't know what has changed, besides me getting older.  Lol
