    sleep is an on going problem for me. l take my tablet after eating, about 8.00. some nights l take a phenergan, you can buy these over the counter and l find they help but you can't take them every night. It is grim when you can't sleep and the mind goes into overdrive. l am only just over 2 weeks of sertraline and am finding it hard going.

    Hi Phoebe,

    I have had a couple nights like that so I started taking it at half past eight with my supper and I'm now sleeping much better.

    Hope you get a good nights sleep soon.

    Best wishes

    Louisa
