Treatment and medication

Hi guys

I been on increased dose of sertraline for 2 weeks now I'm wondering how long till I feel the benefits of the new dose? And do you get side effects again when you up the dose?

You do tend to get side effects when you up the dose. For me, the benefits don't seem to have kicked in and I've been on 100mg for 6 weeks - my anxiety is much better, having less panic attacks, but gotten very depressed. Hope this doesn't happen for you x

I am in the same place. Increased dose twenty days ago. Lots of side effects and depression getting worse. Any advice.

I am more depressed as well. Not sure if I should just stop taking Zoloft.

Hi Sean, it takes up to 8 weeks at the correct dose to start to feel the benefits. And yes, each time you increase your dose you will feel an increase in the side effects, at least for a while – I would say 2-3 weeks. But if you’d been on the old dose for a much longer time, the side effects wouldn’t be as bad on the new dose and you’ll feel the benefits of the new dose sooner. Take care.

The thing is I been on 50 for 6 months and I felt my anxiety coming back so now I been on 75 for about 3 weeks now. I'm feeling tired and lil anxiety mostly in my stomach like nervous feeling I guess u can say. That's pretty much it

Did something happen to you recently? Like more commitments? Work more stressful? Not enough sleep?

I went from 150 to 200mg & it took about 3 weeks to start feeling better
