And yes went from 100 to 150, nothing between.
And I had some side effects at 100, but no-where as mind-numbing as this.
Yes I am diagnosed, severe depression, MPD and ptsd (ptsd not really officially)
The MPD may have an affect, but they don't really know.
I should probably go and see him as you say, but I just don't feel the drive to. I don't feel like anything is really wrong, when it clearly is.

I also have MPD ( now DID) and PTSD( official Dx); I was stable , somewhat depressed, on and off for 16 years- even dealing with the PTSD from my childhood abuse that caused the DID- which I only had confirmed after 2 years of intense therapy with the same therapist ( he was my life saver). I refused medication during that time- I worked in a dental office with sharp instruments in people's mouths- didn't want any "fuzzy" there.
I was told that I had to TRY an antidepressant or Ins wouldn't pay for therapy ( new t this time); I was put in the hospital ( voluntarily went in- SI was great and I don't react well to medication); I was started on zoloft- My SI increased almost immediately! If I had not been in the hospital I would have acted on it.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE call your doc NOW- ANY increase in SI while on SSRI-type medication RARELY goes away as a side effect ( the dry mouth does but the thoughts DON'T). I have been researching for months the studies that caused the FDA to put the warning on them in the first place- 2% of people is what they quote- but that is a low-ball #. The % of people who complete the thought if they show this side effect in the first six weeks of therapy or after a dose increase is actually close to 30%; If this is something that has been there more since the dose increase, then you need to talk with doc ASAP! I was lucky to be in a safe environment- When three days had passed when my staff member noted that my thoughts had increased it sent up a flag and the medication was stopped.
Without the safety of the hospital who know what could have happened. PLEASE CALL DOC NOW!
