    Funny you say this. I have been taking 200mg at night before bed for 2 weeks. Slept ok, but still haven't felt any real benefit. Took my 200mg at 5pm instead today, and had an hour or so feeling lightheaded , flushed, and hot eyes etc, then suddenly lots of energy. Unsure why this is. Would take in a.m but concerned if the spaced out and tired feeling during day

    Hi Don

    i also switched from eve to mornings.  No I didn't feel high.  I switched for the same reasons.  Insomnia.  What dosage are you on?

      This is only my first day.  Switched this am.  Yes I did sleep much better and so far I feel good. Did have a blib this (crying spell) but that passed and was able to go on with my day.  Hope this helps.

      didn't experience tiredness today.  A little lightheaded but certainly nothing terrible.  I will let you know how I get on during the next few days. Sertraline is very tricky,  never know.

      Ah ok. Well today, after takin at 5pm yesterday, I feel a bit groggy. Had a very restless night where I felt quite awake. One thing, and I would like to know if anyone else gets this, but I am peeing loads??? Is this norm?? I am now waiting for a call from my GP lol, I'm going health anxiety crazy. I have seen him twice this week, left side back burning pain, and now peeing loads??? All I want is something to chill my mind out and maybe make me a bit more positive and smiley ? Too much to ask? Lol

      Well I may have spoken too soon.  My night was restless.  I don't think I fell asleep until 4am.  Woke up around 9:30.  Going to persevere with taking it in the morning.  See how it goes.  Sorry can't help with the other problem your having.
