Dose increase

Since increasing my Zoloft from 75mg to 100mg I’ve been a mess. But I’m determined to stick it out. When I was on the 75mg I had relief in the evenings and was able to sleep at night. Since upping to 100mg (day 8) I have zero relief at night and have a hard time falling asleep and wake up at 2am anxious as heck and can’t go back to sleep! Is this normal with an increase?!? 

Totally normal. Give it a few weeks and the side effects will go away! I promise. Hang in there. Maybe take something to help you with the anxiety till the Zoloft kicks in.  Why did you increase if 75 was working?

I took it back down to 75mg this morning! Felt awful on 100mg!!!!

Let me know how you feel !

Hi Jenna,

I've just started on sertraline again but my anxiety has gotten worse.

Just wondering is there anything over the counter I can take for anxiety (mainly in the morning) that you could recommend?

Just whilst my sertraline kicks in again.

Thanks

Lewis
