Sertraline making me a zombie

[BLTLover]

Has anyone else had this? I was on prozac for years but it started giving me diarrhoea so it was swapped and my god for the last month all I do is sleep

I've been on Sertraline for years, never felt drowsy perhaps your dose needs lowering

I'm only on 25mg

Two people I'm very close to are on sertraline and it does not have this effect on them - and their doses are much higher.
You may need to change medication.
Good luck

...or you may still be adjusting, it takes a while.

Thanks. I think its messing with my blood sugars too as I'm craving so much crap!

Ah I found this with sertraline. I do think there is a link with blood sugar. It was only when I concertedly did healthy eating that I started to feel better on it. It did always affect my motivation, that was at 50mg though.

I had this with Sertraline too, it took about 60 weeks for the tiredness to decrease. I was on 50mg though

Sorry that was meant to say 6 weeks not 60 weeks- oops

Have you tried cutting the tablet in half and having half everyday instead? Might help you tolerate it better :)

If I halved it more again I'd only be on 12.5mg which doesn't seem worth it.
