Sertraline Question re: OCD/Anxiety/Intrusive Thoughts

I started taking 25mg of Sertraline for 3 days and then 50mg for the past 8 weeks. I began suffering agoraphobic anxiety at the age of 24. I've always known I've had some form of OCD but after having my first panic attack in a checkout line at a store, I obsessed over it so much that I would talk myself into a panic attack any time I was in a store, not near an exit, couldn't get out of a situation to a safe place, basically. I took alprazolam as needed. I felt I was getting better and then I began having generalized anxiety, even just at home, driving, etc. Then, it turned into depression. I would beat myself up for not being independent enough. I'm now 28 and feel I'm at a low point, probably the lowest. What was once just anxiety in stores is now general anxiety and severe intrusive thoughts that scare the crap out of me. A thought will pop up and I feel out of control of my emotions. "What if I lose my mind?" "What if I do something drastic?" "What if I say something I shouldn't?" What if I just scream right now?" I ruminate so much so that I feel I will actually lose control of myself. Somewhat of a backstory...before the age of 24, I never had these issues. I was very dependent, happy, confident within myself and my mind and content. I will say I don't feel depressed anymore like I was feeling prior to starting Sertraline. But is 50mg not enough for the anxiety and intrusive thoughts? Today I took 75mg. I would like to hear other people's stories with Sertraline and the issues they are overcoming. I don't know if this matters but I take my Sertraline upon waking up in the mornings. So long story short, after 8 weeks on 50mg of Sertraline I no longer feel depressed but still suffer from general anxiety, intrusive thoughts and still fear going to stores alone to the point where I can't unless I take alprazolam. Anything helps! Thank you!
