Thank you once again.
I would like to stay on the lowest dose possible and I think that if I increase too quickly I might end up on a higher dose than I really need. I think I may try and stick it out at 50mg for 12 weeks and then decide. When I was on an SSRI a few years ago (Fluoxetine) I stayed on 20mg and found it fairly east to wean off from as the dose was not high. I am hoping that I will eventually be able to come off Sertraline and so the lower dose I am on the better.
I am worried about the side effects from increasing but not as much as I was at the start.
Had my first CBT sessions yesterday. It was an online assessment and I was diagnosed with panic disorder. I have been booked in for weekly sessions. starting next week. It was nice to speak to somebody about it and it felt good getting it all of my chest! I am hoping the combination of CBT and medication will do the trick.
I am also reading loads of books and listing to mediation and relaxation tapes which seem to help.
