Meant to go up to 50mg of sertraline 3 weeks ago but still on 25mg,too scared to go up.will it give me same side effects as 25mg when first took it?

Side effects: Hi E, part of the reason your prescribing Dr. is having you increase your dose over time is to give your system time to adjust to the side effects, so you may well not notice as much disruption with the increase. If you do, please communicate with your Dr. Here's a link on coping: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/depression/in-depth/antidepressants/art-20049305?pg=1. Hope this helpful
