I am a married 40 man with 2 great kids and a good life, but anxiety plagues me and even worse in covid.
Some days I struggle to eat and vomit/reach at the thought of food and social interactions, and recently just sitting down with the family to eat.
I am underweight and not eating makes me very weak, what makes me more nauseous.

The doctor three weeks ago has prescribed sertraline (50mg but i reduced to 25mg the dose as side affects where too much for me and propanol (40mg), I have tried CBT in the past and hypnosis that have helps a little. (my parents/siblings has a history anxiety)

My question to the NMP gurus, I am currently on 25mg for three weeks and thinking of upping the dosage to 50mg...but unsure if I should wait longer as I am not feeling any effects yet.
And how you know if you have the right dosage, do you just have more good days than bad?

Many thanks
David
