Hi ive been on sertraline for 2 months and a week 150 mg for 4 weeks i'm still having high anxiety should i wait it out or should i increase dosage?

Please check with the prescriber and do not increase dose by yourself. Maximal dose is usually 200 mg/day so likely your doctor will up the dose further. However, if you have not experienced any improvement at all with the current dose, you may need an alternative. Good luck.

Instead of trying to treat yourself, which could result in complications, suggest you now see your doctor and re-evaluate your status, as several options may be necessitated. Do not change dosing on your own, at this point.
