Sertaline: Do not take another sertaline pill but call your doctor as soon as you read this! You might prefer to go immediatley to the nearest Emergency facility. Wish you well. There are other relevant drugs you might be able to take.

Dose related?: It is frequent to experience some symptoms when SSRI's such as Sertraline is started. You don't specify dose and daily adjustments recommended by your doctor. In general, one can slow down the initial dosages, and this might help. For instance, start with 12.5 mg...25 mg, and so on until you reach prescribed dosage. I advise you to report this to your doctor.
