I hope 150 works for you.  I had the same problem on Zoloft.  I would feel good for a week then I'd be back to high anxiety.  I never got past 100 mg as it made me way too jittery.  Good luck!

It can take up to 6 weeks before you feel the effect of Sertraline. I am also using it. I started with 25mg for the first week. The first 3 days were terrible. The side effects was bad!! After a week I went up to 50mg. After 3 weeks the docter increase it to 100mg. But I decided to half the pill and make it 75mg for a week. Then I will increase it to 100mg. The side effects is terrible every time I increase my dose. If U feel it doesnt work, tell your docter. Maybe he wiil prescribe something else. You can google Sertraline.
