It is not be taken over the counter on your own, in fact ideally after consulting a psychiatrist and getting your depression and mse done. Sertraline is a very good antidepressant but can cause certain unpleasant side effects too. So consult a psychiatrist and then get treated. Good luck.

Dear lybrate-user,
If you have not got any side effect with serta 50 mg for one and half years, you are unlikely to get any in future. There is no fixed duration of treatment for panic attack. It depends on the diagnosis, improvement, side effect, other psychosocial factors. Discuss with your psychiatrist.

Hi,

Sometimes it may take 3 weeks to take effect.

Also, very importantly, you may need to modify the dosage or add something else to feel more better sooner.

Hello lybrate-userji
it can be side effect of tab sertraline ,which you have experienced.
You can gradually increase your dose if you getting adverse effect on 25 mg. Start your dose with half of serta and continue till you get adjust to it and gradually go upto 25 mg.
That may help you and your body to tolerate the dose better.
Thank you.
