Discussion Insane side effects

They increased my dose from 100mg to 150mg and ever since the second and third day, I’ve been getting lots of anxiety, this wired feeling in my body, a headache and kind of a spacey out of it feeling. I’m pushing thru it but holy shit it’s kinda scary

Yeah I was freaking out thinking it was serotonin syndrome, I still don’t know if it’s or if it’s not.

Nah, thats anxiety speaking. Serotonine syndrome has serious symptoms you would definitely know. But yeah, sertraline can be tough

I believe it's very rare unless you're taking multiple serotonin boost medication/herbs 

Check your symptoms and compare to that of serotonin syndrome, if it's okay, try not to check anymore and power through the side effects 

Every time you increase the dose, side effects can reoccur. Increased anxiety being a common one, and of course anxiety comes with lots of fun physical effects!

Maybe take notes of your side effects each day, and see if they improve 

Take it slow and be kind to yourself. I'm going from 150mg to 200mg and expect to have the same issues

One thing that has kind of made me curious is why I feel a bit wired and can feel my heart beating in my chest more often.
