Hi Ingrid
Do you mean the physical side effects of the sertraline? Physical side effects are fairly common with most antidepressants but they should normally ease after a couple of months. If they're particularly troublesome it's worth discussing with your prescribing doctor.

Hi Ingrid
If anxiety is more of a problem it's worth talking to your doctor about a more anxiety targeted treatment. Possibly a medication more geared towards anxiety would be appropriate - there are many different medications that might help. Also some kind of talking therapy could be helpful.
