Not likely: Missing 1 dose won't do that. Talk to your doctor. You could be having a "paradoxical" reaction to the drug; or, "paradoxically," it could mean the drug is actually doing its job and giving you more (psychic) energy to experience your anxiety. If the latter, it may be a temporary effect as you "work through" the anxiety. Definitely let your doctor know.

A member asked:
On Sertraline 100mg for anxiety, partial response. Maybe I haven't found the right dose or maybe it's not getting any more effective if I do further increases. Can't decide if I should switch now or maximize the dose on Sertraline first? Thank you?
