Hi

Dear.

I had gone through your query.

Satra contains sertraline . It is SSRI.

100 mg of sertraline is ideal dose to deal with depression and OCD.

Even OCD require higher than that.

Consult your doctor and discuss about effect and side effect.

There are other modalities of treatment.

If sleep problem then it can be treated with add on medication.

so consult and get help.


Thank you,
I find this answer helpful
