Hello everyone, is anyone in Sertraline for anxiety and depression? I’ve been on it for over 10 years at 200mg and it was reduced to 150mg about 2 years ago. I’m really struggling day to day now and wondered if it can actually stop working. I’m trying to get an appointment with my doctor but that’s proving to be easier said than done. I’m feeling really low and I’m worrying over the smallest things. I’ve not felt like this for a long time and I’m worrying I’ll end up like I used to be. I’d appreciate any help and advice offered please.

I am on it - started about 6 months ago. I would call your prescriber and state that it is an emergency. Your mental health is at stake and having your meds adjusted cannot wait a few weeks to get your needs met.
What is the reason they reduced the dosage? If it's not working I would request an increase back to 200.
Of course, understood. There are many different options. Your prescriber should be able to offer a different medication or one to complement your current dosage.
