Does this mean it might be beginning to work ?

you might need a little longer on the 50mg it can take 8-10 weeks to feel full effects but thats good in the evenings you're starting to feel better and the effect of sertraline. Hopefully in a couple more weeks you'll start to feel that when you wake up too.
I have heard that sertraline can cause nightmares and night panics in the first month or two maybe thats causing the panics when you are waking up.

Hi,
Was around 4 weeks on 50mg, then upped it to 100mg about 10 days ago.
Yes, the anxiety and feeling generally rubbish is most days, especially bad in the morning
Like you, the evenings are a tad better and especially after Dinner. While the fogginess and tiredness seem to get better in the last week, today has not been good at all. Brain fog and Anxiety off the scale.
Hope someone with some positive experiences after a few weeks can chime in. I have been on Ads for a long time, but this time round, (swapped from Citalopram), it is never ending
