    Hi Tracey I went though it to doc put me on 100 then 150mg I wasn't getin better so went back to the doc.

    He put me down to 100 mg then down to 50mg he said it was to high for me.

    I've now been on it for a week now so far so good so mayb its to high for u talk to ur doctor

    Sorry, I felt fine while on Sertraline.withdrawing was the problem.  It can take awhile for you and your doctor to get your dose right. Good luck.
