Is 50mg zoloft (sertraline) a subtherapeutic dose?

i read that 100mg-200mg is the recommended dose for GAD and depression etc. my pdoc prescribed me 100mg and said the 50mg is a low dose and that 100mg will help more. i was on 50mg for a while and when i took the 100mg for like a week i had anxiety and felt kind of weird and went back to 50mg, my pdoc was not happy. i did some reading and noticed lots of people feel different when first adjusting to a higher dose and usually adjust after a week or two

For several times I’ve been on Zoloft.
It tends to build tolerance, so I usually went in six months from 50 to 200 mg.
Then I changed.
