I wouldnt suggest this unless advised by a dr. Becuase you can't be sure what reactions may take place with the traces of sertraline left in your system. Also if your mum is on a dose that's above the lowest starting dose, then you may find the side effect hit quite hard.

Not sure what the half life is for sertraline, I know Citalopram is usually 36 hours, so if you took one, and then got your sertraline, you could be potentially mixing two ADS together, which could be really detrimental to your health

When I ran out of tranquillisers (haloperidol) and it was going to be a day or two before I could get a prescription, the chemists when I usually get my tablets gave me some "in advance" so it might be worth asking if you are ever in this position again.
