I just can’t seem to decide on upping my dose from 50 to 75. I have had a few really good days but now I’m back to feeling anxious again and thoughts racing I don’t know if I should up or stick it out. It’s been almost 7 weeks. What’s your thoughts guys I could do with some help. X
Hi Laura, I'm in the same boat. I've had really good days, but if I'm super stressed my anxiety kicks in. I know i dont want to be a walking zombie either. I'm on 50 like you. So I'm anxious to hear from others also. Thanks for bringing up the subject. 😎
Hi Laura! When I upped to 75 the anxiety dropped tremendously. I am still struggling with sleep though. Ugh.
I think we are going to have ups and downs throughout our time on Sertraline. I’m trying to learn to embrace the anxiety and become friends with that feeling with hopes that the frequency and duration will lessen with time.
Glad to hear you’ve had several good days. I think that’s a good sign for things to come. 
It’s a hard decision to make. I really am going back and forth on it. One day I think yes I need to up and then the next I think no just stick it out and give it more time. I don’t want to make my symptoms worse but I can’t live with they way they are it’s an absolute mind warp isn’t it. We could do it together Brenda if we decide to go for it. X
I know where you are coming from ..I felt brilliant after a week on 150mg but now I'm rotten again and going back to work tonight. Increase or decrease or what. Sick of this illness. I have really bad depersonalisation and no energy and feel like I can't breathe.
So so peed off

Zoloft.. lol I skipped the 50-75 and went straight to 100 MG. Had some side effects but works tremendously great after they stopped.
Hi TH. that’s interesting. So you really felt the anxiety calm down, how were side effects when you increased ie nausea upset tum etc. How long have you been at 75? X
Aw hoopz. I think you are prob really anxious about your shift tonight. Are you sure you are ready to go back to work. Really feel for you xx
I am really sensitive to sertraline. I had awful side effects for over a month when I started and they are only just starting to calm down so that’s why i am so scared to increase incase it all comes back. X
Honestly I didn’t have any new side effects from upping the dose.
But, like I said before....manuka honey has made all the difference for me in the tummy department.
Ok. This is reassuring. I need to get me some of this honey if I’m going to increase x
I was ready to go back last week..not sure now. But I'm on reduced shifts so fingers crossed. Going to go to sleep before I go in and hopefully that will help
🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄
Good luck tonight sending you positive vibes. Hope you feel better after a sleep xx
Thanks..I'm only going back cos I need the money. ...and to escape from this madhouse
🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄
Once you are there you will calm down. It’s the initial fear of going back. You can do this x
It's the feeling of not being real ..do you know what I mean. And it's a large supermarket which is also a trigger
🦄🦄🦄🦄
I know exactly what you mean. Keep a hair tie on your wrist and snap it against your skin, that’s supposed to help bring you back to reality. It’s a horrid feeling xx
Think I will wrap myself in elastic bands then. Thanks for the tip xx

I recommend upping your dose Laura, i was hesitant too, and barely felt an increase in side effects when i did. Im feeling a tiny bit better each day. Im going to increase to 100mg next weekend
Yeh I think I will tomorrow. I feel back to square one tonight, really anxious and tearful. X
