Please excuse me for replying late.
There is no need to get worried for this. This too is part of anxiety mainly health anxiety. Stop worrying for this. Remain relaxed. Since everything is normal and you were not sure of any bite and it was 6 weeks back so no need to get any vaccination done.
Just stop thinking about this.
Thanks.

Do you know if the bat were to bite me while asleep I probably would have still felt it correct? And the cut would have been burning itching stinging right after the fact like most open wounds or swelling within 6 weeks time it would not have healed properly and would be noticeable?

Hello again
First thing to come out of health anxiety is to stop searching for symptoms of illness. Ignore any minor bodily symptoms. Don't search google for diagnosis because this will make you more confused.
Try to reassure yourself again and again that you are safe and you can't contract any serious illness. Keep yourself busy and avoid remaining alone.
Take your medicines regularly and try meditation and yoga for best results.
Thanks
Still have doubts please let me know.

Yes fever doesn’t develop in this way.
Sertraline or Zoloft is known to result in uneasiness in stomach and might cause diarrhoea too. Even after first does or in low dose one might develop such symptoms. These are self limiting and will go in some days. No need to get worried.
