To go up a dose or not
I started Sertraline last June firstly on 25mg then to 50mg.
Thanks to the medication I really pulled myself out of a dark place and can now function well without spiralling. I guess my main issue is, I still get PTSD symptoms and a bit emotional when triggered like my brain gets kind of caught in a loop that lasts a few days or until the trigger has resolved.
I also feel kind of like… I don’t want to kill myself anymore but I also wouldn’t say I’m happy either ?
I’m going through a big life transition as I am leaving the military after 12 years so I don’t know if I’m just supposed to feel a bit lost, and low and time is the only healer or whether I should go up a dose to 100mg. My therapist (given to me via the military who I don’t quite click with) when I told her about my “bad days” said to just up my meds. But it felt like a cop out as she constantly invalidates me anyway.
I just wondered if anyone else has been on the fence and got any words of advice either way!
Many thanks for reading!
