Sertraline symptoms

[getupgonow]

I've been on sertraline for a week and am exhausted, I've struggled to keep my eyes open for the last 3 days. Is this common? Will it get better? I'm not feeling any effects yet (I know it's early days)

I am the same. I've been on it for ten days and struggle to stay awake in the day but then last night I couldn't sleep at all, my mind was whirring and my heart racing with anxiety until five in the morning. I'm hoping it gets better as I'm meant to be starting back to work later this week and can't be doing that with feeling so sleepy.

I felt exactly the same when I first started taking it but it only lasted a couple of weeks so I'd say keep going and it will get better.

I was the same, so tired but after 10 days it got better. If you can, sleep and rest when you need to and clear your diary socially for a bit to allow you space to chill. By the end of week 2 I felt more energised. I'm on week 7 and all side effects have gone and I feel much happier, hang in there! On Facebook there is a private group which I have found useful "Zoloft (sertraline) Support Group" x
