Sertaline weeks 2-4

I see lots of posts about how people felt awful on Sertaline for the first two weeks, and much better by week 4, but not much about how it feels during week 2 - 4 so hoping to hear some experiences. I'm on day 11 (taking for anxiety), side effects are ok other than no appetite but I have been feeling so anxious today and yesterday, much worse than before and feel like I just want to stay in bed all day.

I was really hoping it was going to start to getting better around now/in the next few days as I am so close to week 2 now, did anyone feel better around this time? I'm struggling at work with the anxiety but I am self-employed so I can't afford to take any more time off.

Thank you!

Oh and to add, this is my second time taking sertraline - I was on it for around 18 months, came off for six months but have gone back on it after a round of panic attacks. I don't remember it being this bad the first time I went on it
