in the first few weeks or more your anxiety can get worse when you start new meds. ask your doctor for some lorazepan they really help me calm down when I need them. if you don't inprove in another 2 weeks or so may need to increase your sertraline to see if that helps

lorazepan has been a life saver for me at times until my meds kicked in. shouldn't take them for more then 4 weeks as you can become addicted to them but hopefully in the next couple of weeks your meds would of kicked in and your feeling better. are you in the UK?
