Still not sleeping!!

Been on Serts nearly 6 weeks now and although I feel much better in myself and the side effects are gone I'm still not sleeping well.. I lay awake with thoughts in my head! Is it early days and will it get better?

I had this also and it was really stressing me out as I am usually a good sleeper. I have been on them for about 11 weeks now and sleep is much better. I do still get weird dreams, some of which are not very nice but in general sleep is very much improved and I dont wake up every hour like I used to.

Thanks Natalie for your reply 😃 How long were you taking Serts before your sleep improved?

Probably about 8 weeks or so, it  will happen, what dose are u on?  I am on 75mg

I'm on 50mg and don't feel I need anymore. Had loads of nasty side effects in the first 3 weeks but they've gone and the only thing left now is this difficulty with sleeping....

Hi Rabilal, in the mornings I'm always a bit lightheaded but during the evening I feel fine, it's just the sleeping that's still a problem 😞
