Re: 50mg > 100mg dosage increase advice
Hi
I've been taking sertraline for 3 years. Started on 50mg, then I think after a few months I went up to 100mg. I'm mostly stable on this dose but last week I saw a locum GP when my anxiety was bad who suggested increasing to 200mg. I tried it for a few days but I felt so shaky, my teeth were chattering constantly.
200mg is the max dose, 50mg is the sort of minimum normal dose, so 100mg is in the middle and it seems to work for me most of the time. My current anxiety has been triggered by circumstances but the 100mg is normally enough to keep my moods stable and my anxiety at bay. It's not a dramatic difference but I think it is worth keeping up the 100mg dose.
