Hi Everyone
Just wondered if anyone has any thoughts or experiences on increasing a dose of Sertraline from 50mg to 100mg. My GP wants me to up the dose, but I'm reluctant to do this as I feel I'm doing fine on the 50mg and am much better. I have had bad anxiety/depression before and the GP feels I'll get a greater improvement on the larger dose. I suppose I'm of the 'if it aint broke, don't fix it' mentality and just wondered if anyone else has been in this situation and if so what they did? Has anyone upped their dose when they felt it wasn't actually necessary and if so what happened?
I would like to think I could come off them eventually and this would seem more achieveable if I'm on the lower dose to start with! I'm also concerned about causing any side effects with an increased dose.
