Q: still feeling anxious about health and slightly depressed on 50mg of sertraline, was okay for first few months but last month anxiety flared up ?

Anxious &amp; Depressed: Are you getting psychotherapy in addition to the medication you are taking? Learning skills to cope w/anxiety and depression, often from a clinical psychologist can greatly help. Research indicates that medication works better when combined w/psychotherapy. Peace and good health.
