    Hi dawn

    I have been on sertraline for the past 4 months and my main side effects have been:

    Tiredness/sleepiness.

    Need to sleep every 4 to 5 hours for 20 mins to an hour.

    Insomnia while sleeping I wake every hour and a half to two hours on the dot and can only sleep 6 hours max.

    Fuzzy head like brain fog most times of varying levels.

    The one you want to hear is yes I have Also had memory problems aswell forgetting minor things to major things like did I take my tablets or did I unplug that, did I turn cooker off or even who was that I forget some people's names at times.

    I no saying i have the same side effects won't help fix them as I don't no how to fix my own but atleast you know it seems to be a common enough thing.
