[AnxietySertraline]

19 days on 50 mg Sertraline... Have not sleept well last 2 nights... Have a lot of anxiety... Afraid to take sleeping pill... Have just taken benzo waiting for it to work - I hope

[TendonQueen]

Hope it works for you. Is this a known side effect? Maybe put music or radio on low if you're still struggling in a bit?

[AnxietySertraline]

Thank you for your response - it means a lot

[AnxietySertraline]

It is a known sideeffect but I dont know if it is SE or my anxiety doing it...

[AnxietySertraline]

My boyfriend is sleeping next to me so can't put Music on... But hoping the pill helps in a little bit

[AnxietySertraline]

Reading on my phone about hospitalization... Really feel bad

Also not sleeping so got up and had warm milk with honey and cookies. Will go back to bed when I cannot keep my eyes open.

I had this on sertraline - I was taking it at night to avoid the worst of the initial side effects, which worked, but as it was stopping me sleeping I switched to the morning. By that time the nausea etc. had died down and taking it in the morning really helped with the insomnia.

[AnxietySertraline]

I am already taking it in the morning...

[Swirlysunshine]

How about getting up and watching tv? Might be better than waiting for sleep....

[AnxietySertraline]

I have given up on sleep... Just waiting for a time I can wake my boyfriend up... Without him being too tired... Thinking of calling psychiatric ER where I live

[Swirlysunshine]

Had more energy the next day doing that than lying awake with the mind racing

[AnxietySertraline]

Hate overthinking

[Swirlysunshine]

Did that stupid post make you smile though?? The fake one?? Hey I'm so happy my husband left me etc!!!

[AnxietySertraline]

LOL a bit yes...

[MSIOF]

Ah fair enough. I thought I'd mention it just in case.

Hello. I was really anxious for the first three weeks on Sertraline. Thought I was going to go mad but it settled down soon after that. I take it at night.
If you are feeling truly awful and having thoughts about harming yourself please wake your boyfriend up or call for emergency help. Thinking of you, you will get there

[AnxietySertraline]

Thank you very much. I did wake him and have called an emergency hotline....

[AnxietySertraline]

Now waiting to Call my gp... Think O need to be hospitalized...

[AnxietySertraline]
