Hi everyone,

I started 25mg Sertraline a week ago, having been on 12.5mg for five or six weeks. I’m already seeing some slight improvement on 25mg, but I see most people seem to stay on 25mg for a couple weeks when starting before bumping up to 50mg. I’ve had minimal side effects from 25mg, just increased yawning and urination, and very slight jaw tightness and dissociation.

Most of the success stories for GAD I’ve seen have been doses of 50mg , but some people say they’ve stayed on 25mg successfully for years.

Is it worth me waiting out to see if 25mg does the trick, or should I push to 50mg and let it stabilise for best results? I don’t want to wait another five weeks on 25mg only to crash again like I did with 12.5mg…

Thanks!
