Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Fatigue is a symptom of depression. When depression symptoms will improve, fatigue will go away. If there is no improvement on Sertraline it can be increased gradually by your practitioner. Make sure your thyroid functions are normal as it can be a reason for underlying depression symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
