Upping Sertraline dose?
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi, i was woundering if any1 could give me some advice? I have been taking 50mg of sertraline since last year due to bad anxiety and panic attacks, am 25 years old and have a 4 year old daughter, this past year has been incredibly tuff, i have been trying my hardest not to let the anxiety control me anymore but its difficult. My doc has advised upping my dose to 100mg to see if that helps! I was woundering if any1 has had any side affects from upping their dose and if so how long does it last?

I'm on 50 so this info is second hand
Max dose = 200 so 100 = half max dose
Lots of people seem to be on 100 or more
I guess it depends on how YOU feel - the side effects of upping ur dose will be less extreme than starting from 0 and if u feel it will help u cope I would go for it - u can always go back to 50
