I have been on sertraline for about 4 years now on and off! Iv been on 50 mg for over 2 years now and about 4 weeks ago I felt my anxiety coming back again and feeling low and not sleeping! So the doctor has put me up onto 100mg and its been about 4 weeks but the last 4 nights around 9.30 I have been feeling real tired like I have taken something to make me feel drowsy! I do try to have a nap in the day if I can but I feel wide awake!

Just time it so the pills makes you sleepy! I've been on it for about a week lol and it work best if I take it once I'm in bed and ready to sleep...
Do you find it keeps you up tho if you take it b4 bed?
Hi Emzy,
I started it 6 weeks ago. The first 2 weeks was a disaster. I was so dowsy, I couldnt keep my eyes open. I literarlly passed out in the afternoon for 3-4 hours. But as days passed, it got better and at the moment I dont feel drowsy at all any more. I started taking it before bed though. Although my gp suggested mornings. But every person is dofferent. What I can say for sure, is that it is gonna get back to normal status, once ur body gets used to it.
Thanks for the reply last night was alot better but I couldn't switch off at night so had to take a sleeping tablet but I think I will stick to taking it in the morning for now as dont want to mess around with it until I feel completely better!
