I’ve been on sertraline for about 9 weeks now, first couple weeks anxiety was through the roof then it slowly levelled out, only side effects I’ve had is waking up every night around two hours after I went asleep then only way I can go back asleep is if I go down on the sofa.. but anyway I’ve felt like 80-90 percent back to myself until yesterday felt as thought I was over thinking a lot, has anyone else had this after having so many good days for a while does this mean I need to up the dosage to 75 mg maybe?

Yes, I would talk to doctor to increase. I’m on 75mg. But I have to eat a piece of bread with it and wait an hour to eat. I take mine in the morning.

Do you still struggle with sleep or anything being on 75mg?

No, I don’t but I do take a sleeping pill at night. It’s more or less a chill pill to relax.

Yes I take mine at half 5 every morning only issue I got at the moment is my sleep keeps getting interrupted and my over thinking seems to be weighing on my mind, is this why you upped your dosage?
