is it possible to become dose dependent and that the benefits of drug subside until you go to higher dosage?
Do you need to increase dosage as body acclimatizes to sertraline? Currently on 50 mg?

Hi, Sasha! Many people will not respond sufficiently to the initial dose and you have plenty of room to increase:
"Maintenance dose: 50 to 200 mg orally once a day'
Every individual responds differently and so the dosage you're taking may not be therapeutic. You should probably let your doctor know where you're at with the medication and get her/his professional advice.
Best regards, Wildcat
