Sleep and Sertaline

Treatment and medication
1

Hi everyone,

Hope u all doing well, okay so I have been on sterlaine for about a month now, the main reason for going on it was because I suffer from insomnia/ Anxiety and don’t sleep much. I am tired and exhausted all the time. I actually can’t remeber a time where I feel refreshed and not tired. 

I have been given sleeping tablets which I take as and when, 

Will my sleep get better? Does it actually help with sleep? It just seems weird I am taking a tablet to help me with the one thing I need help with most but there is no difference in sleep. 

Thanks for reading x

Haven`t heard of sert helping sleep effectively. i take 125mg sert for anxiety, and 75mg seroquel at bedtime for sleep (and anxiety). does me well. good luck

Hi Nicky. Since I've been on zoloft my sleep has improved. I use to twist and turn all night. Now I sleep like a baby. I think anxiety was keeping my mind going all the time. 😴

It can make you drowsy it helps me sleep but it took a few weeks for it to kick in it can also have opposite effect
