100mg to 150mg of steraline

[Charbey]

Hope everyone's is doing good. My GP started me on 50 mg for a month. Then I was on steraline 100mg my doc changed it to 150mg. I took that dose on 8/919 and felt awful. Got really nauseous, tired, anxious then panicy been a long long time feeling that bad. Anyone else feel this way? I may just only stick with 100mg I feel off. Worse than before.

I have been titrated up all of the way to max dose of Zoloft 200. Each time they increased I felt the same way you do. After 2 weeks the anxiety and other side effects went away and I was fine. You may think you feel better on 100 but the dr must have increased because of something or he/ she wants you on a higher dose. Just know you have been on this med for awhile and all of the side effects will get better. Another option would be going to 125 for a couple of weeks then do 150? I’m sorry you are feeling so bad.

Also I take mine before bed

[rebecca3455]

Wow so he started you on this only 3 weeks ago and started at 100? The starting dose for anxiety is 25-50. So getting to 150 after 3 weeks seems almost impossible to me. In the end I think you should do whatever makes you feel the best and safest.

My gp started me on 50 begining of June. Sorry should of added that

Hi I’m adding my 2 cents.. 150 still seems high..

[Charbey]

I think so too.

[Charbey]

I feel the 100mg was good. Yeah here and there was anxious and a little dizzy but I was only on 100 for 3 wks

Hi there, I'm upto 150mg of sertraline as well but feel good for it. Just give your body a chance to get used to the increase or go from 100mg to 125mg breaking one tablet in half.

Give things a couple of weeks and if you still find thing difficult then go back to the GP.

Any questions you have feel free to contact me.

[Charbey in reply to Stantonrider]

Hi thank you for your advise. They told me to break a 100 in half to make 150. I broke the half in half. Felt better but other symptoms. So I'll try another night.

As I already to know this I just keep saying it's hard to think that anxiety and panic attacks can have so many symptoms.
