been on Sertraline 25 mg for 25 days then 50 mg for 5 days. Throughout nausea but increased once increasing dose. Is this common? Read reports that side effects may get worse once increasing but anyone else experienced this?

I have used sertraline 50 mg morning and evening. But it did not work for me even after 1 month trial. I faced same side effects but it does not improve my GAD and SAD symptoms. Since i visited my prescription doctor and he changed my medicine.

I’m on 50mg and have been from the start, and have been on them since December, I had side effects right up until the 4th week and on and off a bit for a couple of weeks after, i had the spaced out feeling as well. I think everyone’s experience is going to be different, I think you going from 25 to 50 it will be your body getting used to a higher dosage and trying to level out.
