Starting Sertraline slowly? Advice please.

[BamaGirl]

So tomorrow I am to start Sertraline. My psychiatrist said to start slow with it. He gave me 50 mg to break in half and take for a week...my question is is it safe to break the 25 mg in half as well and start even slower? I'm a huge baby when it comes to side effects :( but id take 12.5 my for a week then 25 mg for a week then 50mg then I would see him again. Has anyone ever done this? Thanks. Also share experiences if you like. Preferably positive ones lol

Hi Chelsea,

how did you get on with Sertraline?

ive been on 100mg but due to an anxiety relapse im
upping to 150mg. I too am scared of side effects so
ive been splitting the 50 into 4 pieces and taking 12.5 extra every other day.
Foing to start 112.5 then 125 alternately

i hope this helps because anxiety is awful and I’m waking up panicking every morning.

i have a young son and im
ateuggling to cope cx
