Tiredness

Treatment and medication
1

Does anyone find setraline makes them extremely tired? I think before I started taking it anxiety used to make me tired as and when I had a particularly stressful time. But 1 year in and every evening I'm done in. Feel so heavy I can't move. Just wondering if this is a common side effect or if it's something else. My anxiety has certainly improved and can function much better now during the day which is nice, but I'm useless in the evening and go to bed about 8.30/9 quite often.

Thanks

What dose are you on? It certainly used to make me tired when I was on 200mg, but on 100mg or 50mg I seem to be ok. It might be worth talking to your doctor about reducing the dose slightly if it's quite high. Otherwise it might just be the way it affects you. Talk to the doctor anyway and see what they suggest.

Thank you. I'm only on a low dose 50mg. I have spoken with my Dr and getting various things checked out. Just wondered if it was a common side effect.
