Hey everyone,
Since starting to take Sertraline 12-14 days ago ive been having trouble sleeping. Can anyone give any tips on how to fall asleep better? Because im so drained out i just need to rest.
It happens to most people and passes eventually. Try a sedative antihistamine
ive always had trouble sleeping before and after zoloft, zoloft makes it a little worse but i heard it gets better.
what side effects do you currently have from zoloft.
i got severe anxiety and jittery from zoloft
I take unisom
My side effects are my head feeling very weird like im forgetting things and kinda feels weird as well inside. Also I’ve got sleeping issues like as you know and just random other little things.
Might do that as well.
Will do 
I am the same… I have come off Mirtazepine a week ago and started Sert on Monday and I sleep max 5 hours usually broken so have been taking sedative antihistamines but I will try not to take them every night because then body gets used to them. I have a family memeber who is on SERTRALINE and sleep apparently sleep improves after a few weeks.
Fair enough, I hope it improves.
i just took my first 15mg remeron for sleep to help with the horrible anxiety
See if your GP will prescribe a short supply of sleeping pills. I took Zopiclone for a few weeks and cut them in half to make them last longer. Take your A/D’s in the morning, exercise, dont play on your phone or watch TV in the bedroom, read before bed, dont lie in, nap during the day and try to get into a pattern ie get up and go to bed at the same time. Its tough though, i still suffer with the insomnia, it does get easier though.
ALA, i started mirtsapaine 15 last night for anxiety along with 50mgs of zoloft .DID MIRTzapine help with anxiety. did you have any side effects?
anxyety makes you forgetful, is very normal.
I didn’t suffer with anxiety when I started MIRT but when I wasn’t helping with depression I started to get anxious. Extreme tiredness and sleepiness were the side effects but also increased apettite. I put 9kg since end of May and I was trying to eat well… mirt really slows your metabolism.
Where do you get them from x
did prozac help at all?
did the sleepiness go away?
i can’t take the tiredness and stomach pain ill do back to trazadone which worked just as well
Well, only on 45 mg for me. 15 mg was awful, I was feeling sedated all day after taking it.
it didn’t help depression or anxiety for you. how long did you stay on 15mg
