I have been taking Zoloft since October and I feel tired all the time. I also have had really crazy dreams since I started this medication. Should I be worried or do other people experience these side effects.

Thanks!

Sleepiness is an unfortunate side effect of most SSRI's. If it is unbearable or interferring for you, talk to your doctor about switching your medication. I've been taken of of 2 meds due to sleepiness.

I was on Zoloft and did so well with it. I thought I was cured and took myself off of it only to hhave a relapse. I need 8 hours of sleep. If I don't get it at night , I take a nap. If that is all it is for you don't worry about it. But if you are sleepy more than eight hours or whatever is norm for you then tell the doctor. Didn't have any crazy dreams. Just don't read to much into it.

I have been on Zoloft for about a year and it saved my life! I went through so many anti-depressant before I found the right one for me. I would like to recommend that you talk to your doctor and let her know about the symptoms you are experiencing. Everyone acts differently towards different medication so Zoloft may not be the right one for you. I do get the crazy dreams but I've always had crazy dreams even before I started on Zoloft.
