Dear sir, I have been taking Tab. Serta 50 mg, for the past one and half years, as prescribed, as part of treatment for panic attack. Please advice me as to how long will I have to take the tablet? Will there be any side effect, sir/madam.

In general, tablet sertraline for panic attacks needs to be taken for 1 year continuously. After which, gradual dose reduction & fully stopping tablet can be achieved. So, talk to your psychiatrist about it.

Dear lybrate-user, If you have not got any side effect with serta 50 mg for one and half years, you are unlikely to get any in future. There is no fixed duration of treatment for panic attack. It depends on the diagnosis, improvement, side effect, other psychosocial factors. Discuss with your psychiatrist.
