I have raised my Zoloft does from 50 mg to 75 mg?

Thanks for asking this question and thanks to all who answered. I myself have been prescribed Zoloft for depression and anxiety and as I got to a higher dose (75 mg) I started feel extra anxious, as though I was hyped up on caffeine. Now that I've levelled off on 75 mg I have been increased to 100 mg and day one I'm back to feeling over-anxious. As some of you have said, just push through it and I like that advice. I have to tell myself, I'm ok, it's just the meds. Give your brain time to adjust to the extra medication. Thank you to all!

Insomnia is very common with this med. I’m only on 37.5mg & I’ve been taking it in the morning. 5 weeks now. I’m going to try taking it at dinner tonigh, I do have restless sleep. I did check with my pharmacist & sometimes I take 25mg for my allergies & to help sleep at night, he told me that was fine. I don’t really have increased anxiety, I’m taking for depression mostly. Any dose change can take a few weeks for your body to adjust.

How are you now? I'm on 75mg of zoloft for 4 weeks now and still have anxiety. Not sure if I should up my dose or hang on a little longer. I get horrible side effects when I adjust my dose too. This is horrible. I'm anxious and down

Hi, Star! Mixing prescription drugs with OTCs, herbals, etc., can also produce unwanted side effects. For instance, Zoloft and Benadryl can cause CNS/respiratory depression, sedation and drowsiness, loss of mental alertness and motor co-ordination.
Your best bet is to go straight to your doctor for professional advice.
"Some side effects of sertraline may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects."
