Should I go up

From 25mg Sertraline? I’ve been on it for about 3 years and it helped but lately i’ve had anxiety pretty steady everyday especially in the morning. Tried to change the time I take it but nothing has changed. Maybe my body has gotten used to the 25mg. I have 2 weeks off coming up in August and was thinking of trying then so the side effects wouldn’t mess me up at work. What do you think?

Great idea...have a talk with your doctor to see if he wants to increase the dose.

There definitely will be an adjustment period, so you might want to do it during the

2 weeks in August. Plan ahead so you will be mentally ready. :) xx

That’s soooo smart to do it when you have the weeks off. I have never been that smart 😂

But I’m currently going through that with pristiq. I’ve been on 25 for almost two months and I could just tell my body was used to it and my doctor agreed. So I start 50 tonight haha.

I hope whatever you do, helps you!! 💙
