I'm a first year uni student with 5 upcoming exams starting in around 2 weeks. I do have anxiety and depression issues and was prescribed with Sertraline 50mg (half a tablet for 4 days at the beginning). I've read the leaflet that comes with the medicine and done a bit of research. I've personally never taken Sertraline before

I am currently revising by using flashcards and some topics which require heavy thinking. I was wondering if I should take the Sertraline starting from tomorrow or wait till exams are over. My main concern is that the side effects will affect my revision till the exam (since I started quite recently after so many coursework) and basically fail me.
