Hi, This is my first time in posting a discussion on line! Am sleeping in every morning,have 5 alarms, 2 different people who ring my house phone and I don’t respond.
Am taking sertraline. Anyone else experiencing this?
Some days I sleep till the afternoon.
Hi Sarah,
Could you provide your dose schedule with start dates...
I struggle with morning fatigue too, but it’s better since reducing sertraline dosage.
I was having a lot of trouble staying asleep so also take Amitriptyline at bedtime.
Do you take any other meds with the sertraline?
I’m the opposite, I wish I could sleep like that.
Hoping when my Diaspam finishes I will be able to sleep just by taking the Sertraline. 50mg i’m on. Does anybody else need to takesomerthing with there Sertraline to help them sleep.
That's a lot of sleep. What dose are you on ? . What time do you go to bed ?
I’m on 50mg Sertraline in the day and 5 mg Diazepam at night. Go to bed about a10.45 it’s only since i’ve Been depressed and Axiours that I ‘be had trouble sleeping.
Different approaches help people differently. I find no technology about an hour before bed , definitely not social media ! a cup of valarian tea , definitely no alcohol ! and some meditation music from headspace app helps me. I sleep great. Lack of sleep can result in an agitated scattered mind for me, so I do all I can to help myself to sleep well. Diazepam gives me vivid dreams , I do have it to hand but rarely use it now .
I have been on 150mg sertraline for 4 weeks prior to that I was on 100mg for about 10 months. I take other medication as well....tablets for high blood pressure, aspirin and atorvastation.
I go to bed at night and have no idea what time I will wake up am ment to get up at 6am for work l never get there on time often I wake up too late to go.
Hi Sarah,
I’ve heard that dose adjustments need about 6 weeks for adverse effects to settle down. Hopefully that’s the case for you
