Ive got a docs app tomorrow as im really not coping. After nearly 5 weeks on 100mg its doing nothing. Can anybody tell me of their exp going from 100mg and up.
Hi Emma, my Sertraline was increased to 150mg just over a week ago. I think I'm slightly improving, the side effects have subsided a little, dry mouth, sweats etc. give it a couple of week on 150mg, then go back to your docs for a review. Hopefully you'll start feeling better soon, hang in there.. You're not alone. X
Hi, was yr increase from 100mg? Im scared to side effects will get worse x
Hi Emma, yes, my dose was increased from 100mg to 150mg just over a week ago. I don't think the side effects are any worse. They do subside.
In the same boat really after 6 weeks in total, 4 on 100mg. Got a Docs appointment on thursday but based on our discussions at my last appointment I reckon we'll be triyng propranolol alongside first rather than an increase in Setraline. Be interested in hearing whether an increase in Sertraline alone above 100mg yielded any positve results for anyone?
Im so tearful and showing no signs of improvement x
hi Gary I am 5 wks 6 days in on sert 50 mg and I was given propranolol as well which I have had for about 5 wks. my propranolol 40 mg quick release didn't work for me as after 3 hours the anxiety started again but then the gp swapped to slow release propranolol 80mg twice a day and things are so much better now the serts are kicking in too I have bearly had any anxiety over the last week. hang in there everyone.
So good to hear x
hang in Emma. I am only on 50mg but when I discussed with my gp it's sounded like it was normal to up to 100mg then 100mg to get a therapeutic level in the body. different people may need different amounts. fingers crossed for you ☺
meant 100 to 100mg x
100 to 150 mg! third time on typo! ☺
Hi Natalie, thats good to know. Can I clarify you are now on 150mg. Have you had any improvement going from 100?
No I am on 50mg serts plus slow release propranolol. however when I spoke to my gp he mentioned going up to 100mg then 150mg if needs be and this seemed normal. I choose to stay on 50 mg at Mo as propranolol seems to help and I have a review again Fri which I may go up to 100mg as nearly 6 wks in ☺
emma your not alone i was on 50mg a was coping upped to 100mg yesterday never slept and the high anxiety came back a had slight anxiety when i started these now it is through the roof am gong back to the doctor in about three weeks if he puts me on 150mg am no sure i could handle that.
