5 weeks on Sertraline

[Passionforlife]

Hi everyone. I have been taking 50 mg sertraline for nearly five weeks. The only issue I have is exhaustion some days . But otherwise I am okay .
But I can’t tell if it’s working as don’t have depression or general anxiety. I am triggered by panic attacks in certain situations.. flying on planes..travelling abroad .. passenger in a car and elevators . I havnt been in those situation yet but I have booked a holiday in August as I am determined to live my life .

Has anyone had any success with this medication? Has it lessened your panic ?

Thanks for your reply. Are you responding from experience? Has Sertraline been successful for you?

It took 6 weeks for me.
I changed to Lexapro due to weight gain on Sertraline.
