What To Expect On 100mg Sertraline?

I've been taking Sertraline 50mg starting dose by my GP since around 2 months ago. I'm not taking it for depression but for anxiety particularly for social kind.

Noticed some improvements I think are due to the drug like a more clearer, confident voice more regularly, better at doing CBT and not dwelling too much on how I sound to others.

The anxiety is still a problem though I think and my GP said I would benefit from a higher dose and gave me 100mg tablets.

Was just wondering how different the extra 50mg is, compared to just the 50mg? Is there certain precautions I need to take or be aware of on the higher dose? Just wondering how others could experience the drug at this dose, but I know everyone's different.

      Hi there. That's good to know, have you noticed some differences for that time taking Sertraline?

      I get anxiety mostly revolving around the social kind. For example, if I'm queueing for a coffee or something and it is busy with music in the background, that kind of thing. Thinking what other people are thinking about me.

      I'm doing CBT by myself now but did have it with a therapist through NHS in the beginning of the year.
