Brief Answer:
Practically no effect

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to XXXXXXX

Sertaline is a SSRI drug and it is a very good anti anxiety and anti depressant drug. Atenolol is beta blocker used in hypertension mainly and some doctors also prescribe this drug in anxiety control.

There is no significant drug interactions when these drugs used simultaneously.

If you have accidentally taken the drugs twice even then there is no significant risk to health. Zoloft (sertaline) is very safe drug. Get your BP checked to rule out any fall in BP, you can take lime juice if you have a little giddiness.

Thanks, if you have more questions you can ask again.
