You mentioned being on citalopram in the past. Did it also trigger tremors at the beginning and was it effective?
How long do people take the 25mg for beofre moving up to the 50?
The rule of thumb on this is to increase (or decrease) doses no sooner than 5 times the half-life of the med, which for sertraline is 5 x 26 hours, so 5-6 days. Upping earlier may increase any side-effects, but delaying it for longer won't significantly reduce them no matter how long the wait, however, maybe give yourself an extra day or two at 25mg to build confidence.
