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?

You should discuss this with the prescribing doc and not change the dosage on your own- which is wrong and can be dangerous. Hope you do well

In this scenario, I would rely on the physician who is prescribing the sertraline to give you the best advice as to whether or not you should maximize the dose or switch medications. A lot of it depends on the clinical situation that you are in. Good luck.
