Doctor usually starts a medication in lower doses so as to see the response , if he does not see the appropriate response he increases the dose of the medication and sertraline at 100 mg is a low dose and can be taken .
Next Steps
Adding a non sedating benzodiazepine can also help in getting a faster response

100mg sertaline is not a large dose. infact it is optimal dose. Some patients need 300mgs of sertaline. Don't worry and follow your psychiatrist. Best of luck.
