Dear lybrate-user, please continue to take them and follow up with the doctor after 2-3 weeks. Sertraline takes about to 2-3 weeks to start its action. It also works at a particular dose. Right now, you are at a low dose. It will be built up in your next visit.

Medication work gradually give it atleast 15 days, if still you don?t feel better talk to your doctor about this matter. Along with medication you can also go for counselling for beter prognosis.
