Increase in dosage

Hi I have been on 50mg of sertraline for 3 years.Recently I started to have panic attacks where I have a warming sensation from my tummy up to my chest.My gp has increased my dosage to 100mg how long will it take to take effect.

Thanks in advance Cheryl

Hi Cheryl, it can take a few weeks to start taking affect. Everyone is different and you may get side affects. I did get them but once the dose starting taking affect I started to feel a little better. These meds take time to work but when they do work you will start to feel better. Keep reminding yourself that things will get better. I still have a few down moments but nothing like before. Keep your head up. X
