Is it normal to experience a level of anxiety in the morning on Sertraline ? I've been taking it for almost 2 weeks now and currently on 75 mg daily. Thanks

    Yes, it will go away after a few more weeks, but even with out sertraline people do have slight anxiety in the mornings xx

    Yes, it will get better. I had it for about 3 weeks. It does get better. Did you get something to help with the heightened anxiety?

      You're welcome. That should help you with the heightened anxiety during the first 2-3 weeks. 😊

    Hi Dan! This is my fourth week on Zoloft, upped my dose to 75mg a few days ago! I can definitely relate to the morning anxiety. That went away after the third week for me. Now that Iv upped my dose I'm feeling more depressed again, especially in the morning. By 5pm I start to feel better. From what Iv read it's still early days, you have to give Zoloft some time to start doing its magic. 4-6 weeks or more. Hang in there it will get better! This is my third time on Zoloft, and in the past it has helped tremendously with Anxiety! X
