Hi, 1 week into Sertraline 50mg and I simply can't sleep! My teeth are chattering and I have this fuzzy feeling in my eyes and front of my brain that keeps me too alert to sleep. I know it is early days, but have others experienced this and had success later on? It is such a strong sensation that I fear something is wrong. I am not due to see a doctor for another 10 days. Please help!

You sound like you are suffering from Anxiety, sometimes in early days you may have some side effects, in this case I would say give the medication time to work upwards of five weeks.
Stop worrying

Have you tried Mindfulness Relaxation Techniques, an explanation will be found on the web or this site

mindfulness will help, but being unable to sleep is also listed as a side effect of Sertraline.
Yru to get in to see your doctor earlier, if you possibly can.
