hello, I have been on Sertraline for 6 months now after years of trying different anxiety medication and had my dosage increased from 50mg to 100mg as I felt like I was plateauing on 50mg. I have had the higher dosage for 3 weeks now and I am really feeling the depression kicking in this past week. The first 2 weeks I ust felt the extreme tiredness. When I first started on the 50mg the side effects were not this bad, do I stick it out or should I go back down to 50? Any input would be great, feeling on the edge right now, and finding it hard to work or even get out of bed.
hi alix i had the same problem i was on 50mg then put on 100mg over the phone i was doing ok but thought id give it a try as still felt low at times anyway i went back to my gp after researching ADs and found that 50mg sertraline and 15mg mirtz mix well together sert taken in morning and mirtz at night , mirtz as taken the side effects of sertraline away RESULT! hope ive helped when i went on 100mg i felt awfull . julie

Thanks so much, it feels like no one is interested in my health (apart from my dog). Even though they must be, so thank you for that it's cheered me up
