Sirtraline ups and downs

Treatment and medication
1

Hi everyone

Had a good few days the last night boom anxiety and deppresion come back it's my 5th week on 50mg in this normal ?

2

Just try andit as a bad day or couple of days which is normal for eveyrone not just ones like us on medication. It will get better x

Just spoke to gp and he said to up sertraline to 100mg I was thinking to go to 75mg then 100mg any advice ?

My doctor also suggested 100mg a while ago but I said I wanted to try 75mg first and she said that was fine to do and thats ewhere I have stayed.  if you feel you wamnt to try 100mg thats fine as they say that is a "theraputic dose" whatever that means! But from my experience I am ok-however, u could try 75mg for a while and see how you go or bite the bullet and got for 100. The thing is, only you know how you feel and what you want to try. I know that sounds a bit sh*t but no one can tell you what is right for you x

Thanks

how did u feel at the start when upping too 75mg that's on my mind going though them side effects again do u feel ok on 85mg ?

I def felt the side effects of upping to 75 but no where near as bad as when i went on them and just take it each morning after eating. Lately I keep forgetting to take them straight away so i suppose thats a good sign as it used to be the 1st thing on my mind when i woke up in the mornings.
