Hi everyone.

I've been on Sertraline for 8 months now, starting on a 50mg daily dose, was raised to 100mg daily then dropped back down to 50mg.

I have it of a morning after food.

I am having some issues on it. I feel so lethargic, can hardly sleep at night to the point I'm falling asleep at home during the day when I get home from work or on my days off. I am sweating profusely after I take it. Not just my forehead or back but arms legs, everywhere.

I have next to no energy and it's really getting to me. I have no drive to do anything! I could sit in a chair all day and do nothing.

I'm not like that at all, I like being active and doing things but this drug is just knocking me around. I've put on 10kg since I started taking it.

Any one else feel like this?

    You have been on it for 8 months, I'd be going back to your Dr and ask to be changed over to something else. What do you take it for ?
