So tired!

Treatment and medication
1

I have been on Sertraline for 7 weeks now and feel so much better for it, I am currently taking 100mg.

Main problem I now have is day time tiredness.  I can fall asleep at the drop of a hat during the day and I can't seem to shake the feeling.  I generally sleep fine at night - 11pm through to 6.15am.  Does anyone have anything similar?  I don't need sleeping pills for night time, conversely I need waking pills for day time!!

Any suggestions most welcome

Hi Popwop’

I take vitmins B complex, Q10 130mg, and when i’m really tired Boroco is wonderful, always gives me energy, 

Well woman do a Vitamin B for tiredness , you dissolve it in water that’s good to.

Hope that helps.😃

Hi,

When do you take Sertraline (morning, evening?) It should activate you. I take 75mg in the morning and feel full of energy till evening. Maybe your dose is too high and 75mg would be enough?

Hi popwop.   When I took sertraline last time I also found myself needing a nap during the day, that was a constant for the few years I took it.   Funny though as this time I don’t feel the sleepiness the same, perhaps it will hit me in a few weeks.   I never did find anything that helped with the afternoon fatigue, I just had a snooze, if your body needs it, it needs it.

Thanks for your reply.

I take sertraline in the morning and feel tired all day. Maybe it's too high, I'll keep going until my next doctors appointment in June then reconsider the dosage.
