    Unhappy 9 wks on Sertraline...advice please!

    Hey everyone, I'm new here.
    I've been taking 25 mg of sertraline for 9 weeks now and up until a couple days ago thought I was feeling much better mentally.

    I've been trying to live normally but have a lot of changes going on in my life right now, which is why I started the meds in the first place. I've dealt with some side effects like headaches, stomach aches, vivid dreams, mood swings, loss of appetite (I still haven't been able to eat or exercise (because I have lost about 10 lbs). Also been peeing a lot which causes me great anxiety right now and triggers those obsessive thoughts again! UGH I absolutely HATE obsessing so I was hoping the meds would ease some of that.

    Does anyone have any advice that could help me? I'm thinking of calling my GP and upping my dose to 50 mg because I don't know that 25 is working?

    Any advice is appreciated..I'm just ready to feel like myself again.

    Thanks

    Id go to docs for the 50mg as this is the usual starting dose . 25mg is very low and is usually used for a couple of weeks to ease you in gently and avoid too many side effects. I am on week 10 of 50mg (started on 50mg) and am starting to feel much better( with a few blips!). 50mg is still a low dose so dont worry about this.

    Good Luck. Hope you feel better soon
