Sertraline increase

[ct1984]

Hi, today is my first day of increase of sert from 50mg to 100mg.

Iv been suffering extreme anxiety and panic for 4 weeks since withdrawing from a painkiller.

Im so scared I cant get through this, im experiencing intrusive thoughts, loss of appetite, panic attacks, insomnia, irritability but worst of all the anxiety. As soon as i open my eyes in the morning it floors me making me wish i wouldnt have woken.

Anybody had success on 100mg?

Kudos to you for getting off the painkillers. I’ve watched people ruin their lives over them. You should be proud of yourself for that. I’m not familiar with that drug but if you’ve made it this far you have the power to get though it.

Thank you, its been tough going. Never for a minute would I have touched that pill had the doctor mentioned a thing, he said it was non habit forming! Tramadol is the most evil drug ever. 33 days out and still left with mental torture!

I have not been on sertraline but I hope you don't mind me just reaching out and hoping you get the benefit of the increase and feel better soon

Hi, I was on Sertreline (Prozac) for 10 years, it did well for me. Unfortunately I built up a tolerance to them, then went on to Zoloft which was good, but same thing happened. Having mental illness, is a hard road to be on, we have to be vigilant and do our home work. I am sorry you are going thru this, and hope the increase in med's works. I was on 200 mg......Love, courage, hugs....Sprinkle 1....
