I am currently on 75 mg of sertraline.  I take my meds around 10pm.  I find I don't fall asleep until 2pn and the awake around 6:30 -7:00am.  Should I switch to mornings.  Do you think that might help with my sleeping issues.  Thanks

    Hi Lynda,

    I'm on 50mg and allways have mine in the mornings & I don't seem to have any probs. I would gradually switch to mornings by having just haf a tablet tonight & the other half in the morning & do that for 2/3 days then just take in morning.If you was told to take in the evening  I would consult your GP or chemist first  

    just to ask if there is a reason to take at night.

    Hi Lynda,

    you can take ur medicine in the morning. A time will come when all ur side affect will go away. We all faced some side affects or the other. Then they gradually go away as ur body gets adjusted to the medicine.  Take care.
