Insomnia and other symptoms?
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi,
I just started Zoloft yesterday, for OCD and anxiety.
I took it at 5:30 PM and felt fine but woke up at 1 AM and couldn’t sleep for hours.
Should I skip today’s dose and then start taking it in the morning tomorrow?
Or should I take it in the morning today (it’s about 7:30 AM here), even though it’s only been about 15 hours since my first dose?
So far no other side effect. Do people notice those happen right away or does it take a few day?
I’m hoping that sleeping issue is the only side effect J
This is my first time trying medication for my OCD/Anxiety.
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Susannah,
Thanks for replying
What time of day are you taking zoloft?
Have you had any other side effects yet?
I'm taking 50 MG to start.
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Lorraine,
It's 50 mg and I've only taken it one day.
Thanks,

Hi Dave, if you are taking it 5.30 pm and wake up early, you could try to take it just before you go bed. I do the same and I've never had insomnia. Worth to try and you'll see which time is the best for you.
I do take it at 9.30 pm and works for me.

Thanks Cindella!
I'll try, that if the morning doesn't work.
I skipped yesterday and today took it in the morning.
So I'll see how that makes me feel
Thanks everyone!
