Hi,
As your problem is solved and you feel better, gradually cut down the dose of sertaline from 50 mg to 25 mg and then stop taking this medicine.
But it is advisable to do this change after consulting your treating doctor as he will have good idea of your problem and state of improvement of your symptoms.
Ok and take care.
