I am on day 9 at 50 mg of sertraline.
Prior to taking sertraline, I was generally a very tired person. But 9 days into this medication and I feel more tired than I did originally. I am sleeping in much later and don't have energy to do much throughout the day.
Has anyone experienced this? Does it pass? Is this just a side effect in the beginning stages? When can I expect to feel less tired?
If it helps I’m currently on the same day as you and I feel the same along with dizzy head and a bad stomach, hopefully it will ease as it’s only week two and I’m constantly tired all the time, just give them time, if not tell your GP and hopefully they can give you something for it. xx
Fatigue is both a side effect of Sertraline and anxiety. let the effects kick in in 2 more weeks and you'll find yourself a lot more energetic. I find it helpful to force myself go running once every 2 days to alleviate the side effects. a small dose of multivitamins might help.
I'm on day 13 and this is my third time being on Sertraline so I have a pretty good idea how it works for me
