I have a really weak stomach, but it is painful since I took the medication. What can I do?

Question

Hello, I started taking the antidepressant Apo-Sertraline 25mg 5 days ago to treat my anxiety. Since yesterday, I have a stomach ache after taking it, even if I take the medication with dinner (recommended by my doctor).
