I've been taking Zoloft for over 5 weeks now at 50mg a day for anxiety caused from perimenopause. I have insomnia that came with the anxiety. It has helped a lot since day one. I'm thankful for that but at the same time since I just increased my dose to 50 mg almost two weeks ago I'm finding I'm drowsy all day with taking them in the morning. So asked the doc and she agreed to try at night and the first two nights I got sleep on my own without any sleeping pills. My question is should I just keep taking them in the evening since they do help me a lot with my nighttime anxiety and hope that my sleep will improve? My anxiety goes off the charts when I don't sleep, and that's what caused me to continue with the insomnia. It's a never ending cycle. Any suggestions or just reassurance would be appreciated. Thank you
Take them at night if it makes ou drowsy, once you get the level up in your blood the anxiety will go as well.
Thanks. I'm gonna keep taking them in the evening unless they start keeping me up all night but for now it's helping me relax at night when usually I'm panicky if I'm not sleeping so it's helping me stay more calm and relaxed but my days now I feel the anxiety. It's not overwhelming but it's there and I know it and I want it to just leave me alone
