Sertraline Hcl Advice

Hi,
I started taking Sertraline HCL around December. My doctor, like routine started me at a low dosage and began steadily increasing it. I was up to, I believe, 125mg (around February) when I stopped taking it abruptly for some reason. However, during the months following, I continued to go to my doctor. I lied to her telling her I was still taking the pills when I wasn't and she kept increasing the dosage. I was too nervous to tell her the truth; which I feel bad about now. So, now it's August and school is coming back I'm having some bad anxiety. I still have the prescriptions she gave me and I am really considering starting back on it. However, I don't want to increase the cause of side effects or possibly overdose because it's not in my system anymore. What should I do?

I know I shouldn't start at the dosage I left off but I feel like I have no choice. I see a doctor on my college campus because it's just much easier and free. So, I guess a general one. I've been getting bad vibes from her from the beginning. The way she talks/look at me and her body language let's me know she doesn't like me. I'm suppose to take one and a half pills but I was thinking about just cutting one in half and taking it. I'm just freaked out and depressed.
You'll need to start over, if you've been off of for this long. There are too many issues that can develop if you start at a high dose.

You really need to talk to a doctor you feel comfortable with. If your current one makes you feel so nervous that you can't tell her that you stopped a medication, then you should probably find a new doctor to see.
