A member asked:

My doctor increased my sertraline dosage from 50mg to 100mg for my mild ocd. i took 50mg daily for 2 months, should i have any reaction to watch for?

Medication: If you had side effects earlier from the same med it is possible you might have the same side effects from a dose increase. But your prescribing doctor or their medical team should advise you on any possible adverse reactions.
