50mg is the starting dose for Sertraline and I think if you are having suicidal thoughts then you really need to see the doctor and discuss what can be done. Maybe if you are taking more meds, you might find your brother less annoying (a symptom of depression is irritability).
Please, see your doctor and have a chat with them.
I've never felt suicidal, even if I did I'd be too anxious to carry it out. All meds I've had have made me tired & thy've all been the lowest dose so increasin them will likely make me more sleepy. The meds do work to an extent, they kinda operate in the background. I still feel terrible on them but before them I was in floods of tears regularly. I think they balance ur mind although its still weighin towards the darker side.
