Hi. I'm obviously my 3rd week of 50mg. Still feel pretty jittery. Sleep is better except when something really stresses me out. Do you think the 50 is too strong or not strong enough? I had these same jitters on 50 mg trazodone when I took it at night for sleep but it caused vision issues so I stopped it.
On my third week, not obviously. Lol! VIctim of autocorrect.
Hi carolyn, it took me 3 weeks to settle on each dose increase. I struggled on 50 to start with so dropped back to 25 then increased by 25 every 3 weeks to 150 (4.5 months in),but as youve already been 3 weeks on 50 it might be worth increasing to 75. What does your doctor suggest?
He's out until the 30th. I won't do anything until I talk to him but I just wondered what others thought.
Hi Carolyn, I agree with Julie, I've been on 100mg for about eight months, started at 50mg, and it took me seven or eight weeks to feel a little better, then moved to 100mg, and again took me a while to get used to it, today I've dropped to 50mg as I would like to taper off, good luck, hang in there.

Hi Hun I've been on sertraline for 6 months I had jitters when I firsted started and each time I upped a dose, it'd just a side affect and for me it passed and I don't feel like that at all now. I would sti k with your dose for now if at 5/5 weeks you still feel anxious I'd go back to your doctor to see about a larger dose 50mg is a relatively dose, my doctor told me 100 is the optimum dose x
Sounds like you may need a higher dose. Wait another week and then go back to your doctor to discuss. Feeling more anxious is a side effect with this type of medicine.
