25mg of sertraline, theraputic dose for panic?

[dogsandtea]

Hey,

I've been taking 25mg for 26 days now. The doctor initially wanted me to go to 50mg after 7 days but i was getting very bad insomnia and restlessness so didn't. I've stayed on 25mg and really do feel like i'm getting a bit better now in the past 10 days. I'm much less anxious than before, I was in such a bad way.
I don't feel 100% there yet, and i did change from citalopram (which i was on for 4 and a half years), i know that it can take around 4-6 weeks to feel the full effect. If it carries on like this I don't think I would want to go up to 50mg.

Does anybody else take 25mg and find it is enough?

Hi there
My advice would be to stick with lowest dose possible why increasing if you feel working?
Everyone is different and reacts differently.

I have been on it six months of which four have been at 100mg and its took a long time to even out but most days the anxiety is very low or not there.

Stick with the lowest dose that works for you personally is my advice, there's no rush to increase and if you deem already helping I would wait until the 8 week mark and see how you feel xx
