Hi! I was on 75mg of Sertraline for 4 1/2 weeks, then 100mg for 8 days.... Those 8 days were an absolute HELL. I couldn’t stop throwing up, more anxious than I’ve ever been, etc. So I went back down to 75mg at 5 weeks and 6 days. Total I’ve been on Zoloft for 7 weeks. But I’ve only been back down to 75mg for 8 days.... Definitely feel relief on 75mg, but not back to normal. Still wake up anxious and anxious during the day. Could it be that the 75mg just hasn’t settled yet since I went up and back down? Just wondering how much longer I should give it before increasing? If I increase I’m only going up by 12.5mg because going up by 25mg was the worst thing ever!
I am also in the same boat. Was at 50 for a week then 100 for 3 weeks and now back to 50 for 4 weeks. Wondering if it also takes 4/6 weeks or even longer when decreasing a dose as it does when increasing. Any tips or experiences with this would be wonderful. Love you
I went from 50 to 100 bc I 2as told 75 is not really a therapeutic dose.
That being said, I've been on 100 for 56 days, felt the same as u in the beginning, anxiety wise . I feel great now but am actually so tired I feel like I could fall down
Hi Abby,
Hopefully you have something to help you through this very difficult time such as Klonopin or Diazepam. Each time you increase the dose it’s like starting back at square one. At the 9 wk point on 100mgs I turned a corner. I felt great. The anxiety and panic disappeared. Just hang in there and keep going! It is worth it!!
