Hello. First say you that is necessary to take an antidepressant daily for a minimum of 3 weeks to see its positive effects.Also,you can not suddenly stop taking.There is no "happiness pill".Antidepressants help but it is only a complement.Your habits and vital events is the main thing for this.Besides treatment with drugs, I think you should go to a psychologist.He can help you.
About the drugs, Sertraline and Clonazepam is a right treatment.You must contuinue taking both drugs daily.I would add a drug for anxiety for example lorazepam 1 mg twice a day.Please consult your local doctor for a prescription.
I wish you good health.
