Thinking of changing my morning dosage from AM to PM?.

Treatment and medication
1

Hi as the above states......so just wondering if by doing this will I have any adverse effect on my body? Any one changed their times....

i have been on Sertline for 5 and abit months gone from 50mg and then to 100mg and take it every day at the same time....but since upping the dose I sometimes get a real bed head just on one side of my temple... Soo I'm thinking of changing to bed time and then I can sleep it off as opposed to suffering through the day? Has anyone else tried this? Would it make any differce changing from a to pm?

any advice of anyone would be very much appreciated.. X

Hi Shelly I changed my dose from am to pm as I found it worked better for me. I didn't do it instantly though I just moved the dose taking time an hour forward each or every other day until I reached the time I wanted. Not sure if it would make any difference but it's worth trying

Hi Shelley I'm on 100mg and changed from am to pm missing it 1 morning and taking at night instead when I go to bed and it made no diff at all I don't sleep well but I didn't sleep well when I took it in the mornings either. Hope this helps Michelle xx

Hi Shelly. How are you doing after 5 months? Also how long was it before you felt the effects of Zoloft ?

Hi Thankyou for getting back with all you'r suggestions.

firstly Tracey as you changed your am to Pm May I ask what u did? As you said you Didn't do it instantly? I originally take mine 7.30am, what do u suggest I do? Take it 7.30 at night? How did your body react? Was ther any changes? Any tips please....... I have been ok on this medication other than the other every other day getting a throbbing temple?.

shiley I instantly felt relief more or less straight away, I was entering into PERI  and for 9 months I went through hell with mood swings.......felt soooo relieved that they worked. Don't get me wrong it's no wonder drug and I still get Debbie downer days but nothing like when/before I was on them!!.

michelle:Thankyou also I'm a good sleeper and have to have at least 8-9 hours sleep or I'm horrid.....I'll give the am&pm a go if it disturbs my sleep we'll I'll reverse back to am!???!. 

Thanks ladies.x

Hi Shelly if you currently take t 7.30am, take it 8.30am tomorrow and so on until you reach the time you want. I take mine with my evening meal between 4pm and 6pm. I also sleep ok too. Not sure if it will make any difference but worth a try. Also I heard somewhere when you take the settraline it takes about 6 hours to take effect so if you want to avoid the headaches might be worth trying about 6 hours before you go to bed.

I changed mine recently as the drug was causing me swallowing difficulties so thought it be better by night than day and am delighted I did this, no problems to report except still the difficulty swallowing but not as bed by night as by day
