Have you had any side effects from the 50ml? If not it shouldn't really affect you I started on 50 and had the bad belly, massive eyes and insomnia so I had to come off them! You'll be fine ☺️ X

Hi Poppy, I've gone from 50 to 100 in the past. Had some side effects but only lasted a couple of mins at a time and within about two weeks had levelled out, if memory serves correctly. It helped that I knew what was causing sudden surges in adrenaline, head rushes, and moments of increased anxiety. After the adjustment period passed all was fine! Hope this helps. Are you having side effects?

I was in citalopran but had to change last year to sertraline. I started on 50mg. Then after a week 100mg. Then 150. Then 200mg. This was a planned increase and am now regularly taking 200mg. No side effects at all and no concerns about taking it. Hope this helps to put your mind at rest. X

When I first started the 50 I had ringing in my ears, nausea, insomnia so I cut the pills in half for 2 weeks then went up to 50 with no problems.. I took my first 100 last night and just feel really tired, I'm suffering with really bad reflux at the min and indegestion, it's really getting me down xx

Hi there I too had baddddddd indigestion and reflux, now on cymbalta. Oh and got anxiety when m dose was put up.

I have been on 50mg for a couple of years and it seems to be fine for me. My Dr said that I was on the lowest dose and it could go higher, but I seem ok with 50mg. Let me know if 100mg makes much of a difference for you.

Hi Poppyj26. I was upped from 50 to 100 and more recently 150. I have had no side effects. My only worry is tiredness. But I was soo tired before taking sertraline, I didnt sleep. Now I sleep like a log!
