I don't know if it's just me, but the mornings and afternoons are the worst for me, but comes the night, and I feel relaxed and serene. I currently take 50mg of Sertraline in the am, this would be my 6th week. Any thoughts?

      to Beckystar.

      I took 50mg 7 weeks

      then went to 100mg been on that 11 wks.

      total 18 wks.

      Started to feel bit better after about 9 wks on the 100mg.

      I started trying taking 50mg at night and 50mg morn about 4 weeks ago I think the side effects are less doing it that way

      still strugling a bit but better than I was.

      Good Luck
