    Hi,

    Sertraline can take 6-8 weeks to work properly for depression although you may notice benefits 1-2 weeks.

      Sorry, just noticed you have been on it for 7 years as Zoloft (Just called Sertraline in UK.)

      It will probably just take a while for your body to adjust to the increase of 125 then again to 150.

      Hang on in there, give it time to settle in.
