In reply to How long do dose increases of SSRIs take to work ?, posted by garyengelm on February 12, 2008, at 15:33:05
I've been on sertraline 200mg/d for some months (so the situation is a bit different than yours).
I think I notice (mostly positive) changes *on the same day* if I take the odd extra 100 or 200mg -- but it could be a placebo effect. This is outside the recommended dose; I have no idea whether it is safe for other people than me...
Note that I also had effects right from the beginning (well, I took tiny doses on day 1 and 2, but by day 3 there was an obvious effect), so my reaction is way atypical anyway.
(btw, I've been self-experimenting with the higher dose for 4 days now; I hope there won't be any problems with going back to the 200mg)
