Sertraline Hcl Advice (Top voted first)

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?

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.


What type of doctor were you seeing?

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.
