    Hi Kaylee,

    I must be the odd ball out because Sertraline works very well with me. However I have noticed that no medication can fill in all the gaps our disorders cause. So throughout my life I have found cognitive behavior therapy and read every relevant self help book, group therapy, found doctors and psychiatrists who are trust worthy, (and that is hard to do but not impossible), etc., in an effort to help myself manually along with the medication to fill in the inherent gaps and it has all been worth it!

    Always communicate your symptoms with the doc who started you on Sertraline because it is truly a search until you find the medication or combination of meds that is right for you.

    Hoping the best for you and if you can, go ahead and sleep. Sleep can be like the best medicine at times.

    Dawn, U.S.
