Has anybody taken Sertraline or Zoloft? I have taken Sertraline for about 5 days. It hasn't really help me reduce my anxiety (Doctor said it would take about a week at least). However the main problem is that I cannot sleep at night. I was told that this is a side effect and that I should go away soon. However I feel really tired in the morning. I took the medication in morning to reduce the impact at night but I still struggle to sleep.
I would appreciate any feedback from anybody that has taken a similar medication Thanks and have a good day Posted on 10/20/09, 09:10 am |

Hi
i used to be on zoloft, it took about 3/4 weeks to kick in, i also took clonopin for imeadiate anxiety relief in small doses untill the zoloft was fully working, you may want to ask your doctor about some short term help with sleep untill this side effect goes away. It worked very well for me, sometimes it just takes a little while to kick in and the side effects go away. Take Care xx.

I took sertraline for about 18 months, it took about 3 weeks to kick in and It really did help my anxiety. I used relaxation CDs to help me sleep and I now drink camomile tea just before bedtime, I also find that a hot bath an hour before helps me sleep, hope this helps, Best wishes...
