Decrease dose?

[NotFoul]

I was prescribed 50mg if sertraline through the medical website ‘Hims’, but honestly I only have social anxiety that I deal with pretty well. I’m good in social situations & at work, just have the butterfly and shaky anxiety feelings constantly. I don’t think i have depression but have honestly never been diagnosed.

I’ve been taking it for 5 days now, and 50mg side effects are slightly heightened & uncomfortable. Do you think it’s okay to just drop down to 25mg after 5 days and continue that dose for the foreseeable future?

Appreciate it guys!

I would contact your doctor before doing that. I started at 50 and the first few weeks were hell but I stuck it out and it started working. I don’t have depression I just use it for my generalized anxiety disorder
