increase of sertraline

[Oscarpie12]

Has anyone experienced terrible nausea from increasing their dose

I’ve been prescribed 200mg from 100mg and the nausea is terrible

I think that is too big a jump to double your dose like that. I am on sertraline and started off on 100 which did nothing to 150 which helps quite a lot so try doing that instead. You haven't got to tell them or anything.

A psychiatrist tried to increased me to 200 which doesn't suit me at all so I ignore it and stayed on 150.

HeyI am currently taking that medication, and I have experienced nausea and migraines when I don't eat while taking the medication.

When I started and changed the dosage, I went in 25mg increment for one week.

With this medication it's really important to eat, especially with a bigger dose. My psychiatrist and pharmacist recommended to take them at supper as they can create somnolence, and to have a full meal (400+ cal).

Hope this helps! Stay safe.
