I'm exactly the same as your self, I wake in a terrible state, I'm only on 50mg at the moment, but do feel better after lunch until bed time, very strange,

Same here! Week 4 today on 100mg sertraline. I still feel sad and emotional in the morning. Like dreading to go to work. In the evening like 1 hr after I feel much better. Morning and afternoon are the worse.

I feel the same way, I take mine around 8-9 am but every morning I wake up at 4 am feeling anxious, having palpitations and panic attacks. I am on 50mg and this is my 6th week. Hopefully things will get better.

hi hopefully youre still active. did it ever get better? im almost to week 5 (on 50mg) and my anxiety has gotten better but not 100% which i dont mind at all but i just feel emotionally numb and depressed still. im hoping that gets better because i just want to be happy and able to laugh easily and enjoy things fully again. I felt like this before so its not a new feeling i just wanted this medication to help. i so desperately want to feel connections with others and love

With anxiety morning terror is always the worst as your nervous system is heightened as you have just woken up and are primed to fight or flight in case there is a sabre toothed tiger around. Unfortunately this does not match the reality of trying to find your dressing gown and stumbling downstairs for a decaf coffee.... 😉

Same. Mornings are hard. I'm 12 days at 100mg (went from 50->75->100) and still waiting for the anxiety to dissipate. Can't get to sleep for hours at night, sleep max 4 hrs then up at 5am with heart palpitations and break-in thoughts/ruminations so best to get up but so damn tired. Also up/down throughout the day and better in the evening.
I can't speak to dosage - good question for your doctor though.
