I've been taking sertraline 50mg for 2 weeks, I don't feel any different. The doctor asked me to go and see him after 3 weeks. I think it must take longer than this to work, has anyone seen a difference after only a couple of weeks taking it.

    6 - 8 weeks seems to be the norm from other posts on here.  I'm the same as you - 50mg and reviewed after 3 weeks.  My appointment is Tuesday.

    Hi suzanne, I'm on my 10th day. Yesterday was a really good day but today I have feelings of guilt and regret back and lacking motivation. I think its a case of 2 steps forward and 1 step back but determined to get to where I want to be. Good luck and stay positive.
