Sertraline and diarrhea

Hello,

I have been on sertraline for a little over 2 months. It has been working great for my anxiety but about a week and a half ago i started having loose stools and diarrhea. I have read that diarrhea can be a side effect but has anyone experienced it this long after starting to take it? I haven't had any changes to my diet and I have no other symptoms of illness (no fever, nausea, etc.) I also got my first COVID vaccine 2 days before it started so at first i thought maybe it was that, but now I'm thinking it might be the meds. I made a Dr appt in a couple days but just wondering if anyone has experienced this and if so, did you stop the medication? Did you take something different?
