Anti depressants aren't working

I am a recently diagnosed alcoholic person with depression and anxiety, I think I scored 21 on the quiz, I can't remember the name of it. When I went to see my GP about sertraline not working for me, he increased the dose to 100mg. I've found myself unable to stop drinking and in fact drinking more only to get rid of the anxiety and putting off the feeling that I want to kill myself and being an all round failure. I don't know what to do at this point because my doctor said the sertraline work.

Chest pain

I’ve been having chest pain for the last 2 days now. Last time I had this was in January. I had a lot of the same symptoms - a lot of fatigue followed by aching muscles and then a lot of chest pain. Last time, it lasted around 2 months. I didn’t go to the doctors because it passed but the fact it’s come back has made me worried. My family also has a history of heart disease and high blood pressure.

Depression and anxiety

I am a jobless 27 year old female. My father died when I was 11. My mother has been taking care of me ever since. We are very close to my maternal aunt and her husband. Recently my uncle, ie, my maternal aunt's husband was diagnosed with metastatic cancer. I'm trying to cope with this fact but our neighbour makes my life difficult by hurling abuses at us because we don't have a male member in the family and also disturbing us in more ways than one. If this goes on I'll lose my sanity very soon.

Heavy Menstration

A radiologist did a trans pelvic and trans vaginal ultra sound an found 5 measurable fibroids and a cyst. The cyst is on my right ovary and is double the size of my right ovary and one of the fibroids is on my left ovary and is triple the size of my left ovary. My doctor doesn't want to act on the information found she wants to wait and watch due to my age (29yoa) and the fact that I have never had children. She wants to do a D&C and she prescribed birth control to regulate the bleeding.
