Sertraline and promethazine
Posted , 3 users are following.
hi everyone I suffered bad with depression and anxiety for a few years without treatment, it all came to ahead in may this year when I was going days without sleep or leaving the house and having suicidal thoughts, i started taking sertraline 50 mg and zopiclone to help sleep it took around 2-3 months for me to feel myself again after upping dose to 100mg sertaline I stopped taking the zopiclone
, I started taking 50mg of promethazine to help with the ongoing sleep issues. five months down the line I feel the best I have for many years the only problem is I am still taking promethazine 50mg every night to sleep is this safe and is there any advice you could give to what options I have, I've heard people say insomnia is a big side effect of sertraline but I dont want to stop taking sertraline because of how well my mental health has improved

yes a lot of symptoms felt heightened at the start, going for walks or going to the gym regularly helped for me
