Hi! Just a post to see how everyone is doing & to see if anyone needs a chat..

I am now on week 9 of sertraline & literally just taken my 1st 100mg tablet. I was on 50mg for 5 week & 75mg for 3 weeks. I suffer with health anxiety & although my anxiety has improved in the 9 weeks I have been on them, I know that I am not where I want to be. Night time is the worst for me, that is when things just trigger my anxiety off. Praying I don't get many side effects from upping my dose again.. but if I can get through the start up effects then I get can get through increased dosage effects right?!

    I am on wk 9 of 150mg, not sure what your side effects were with your increases but I got through lots of increases. So awful. I still have ups and downs. I can't wait until the meds make me feel consistently good. how do you feel so far with the 100mg dose today?

      Hey! I too have ups & downs. I have noticed that my muscles ache so much more with this increase & I have felt a little dizzy today! Other then that I do feel that they are helping me. We will get there! x
