Treatment and medication

I've been taking sertraline for four months on 50mg but this whole time I've suffered with insomnia and as much as the doctor has given me sleeping tablets they don't work at all I just tried zopiclone and they don't work in need sleep but I don't know what to try cuz I've got to stay on meds

Have u tried changing the time of day that u take your sertraline? I take mine just as I get into bed at night and I've had no trouble with sleep. X

Hi Emily,

you're on a low dose of Sertraline, is it possible your GP could increase the dose? 

Or try taking the meds at night along with the Zopiclone. 

Take them about an hour before you go to bed.. See how it goes.
