Hi Andrea,
My first week on Sertraline was pretty rough, nausea, stomach aches, head aches and flu like symptoms. We all react to it in a different way, and because we have anxiety it amplifies these sensations and makes it 10 times worse. Often when we feel these reactions it's a good sign that the medication is working but if you feel like it's getting worse or it just won't go away I would advice speaking with your doctor.
Stay strong Andrea, it gets better!

It varies from person to person, some people say a week others say 8. It's a notoriously slow working drug, my side effects lasted for about a week. Try not to focus on it too much (easier said then done, I know!) you've only been on it for 2 days and your body is still adjusting. And because of the other medications you've been taking its probably just a settling in period. But like I said before see your doctor if it gets worse or just won't go away.
I understand how you feel, I've had anxiety for years but these past few months have been rough, decided to bite the bullet and take my very first pill 3 weeks ago. You can get through this!
