I hate to complain because I am feeling better I have been on 100 MG for a month ! Before that 50 but OMG I am so tired I don't have the get up and go like I did before ! I haven't even worked out in three weeks that's not like me ! Anyone else have the lazy bug problem that I'm having?

    Hi Michelle, I'm on 50mg of Sertraline on day 15, it has made me a little tired though not really lacklustre. it did make me lose my appetite and bring me out in bouts of sweats and hot flushes, but aside from those affects I've been generally bright ......... hope you get your get up and go back xx

      Just a second note, I wonder if you reduce your dosage back to 50mg, this will reduce your tiredness. Or give it a few more weeks and see if the tiredness subsides x

    having read your comments and having a fair aount of experience in this area, it makes me wonder ....you could leave it another week /two and see if it settles down, if not I would go back to your dr and see if they can swap you to another SSRI or SNRI. they are all similar but not the same, you may find another suits you better. I think you have 2 options really, see if settles down, another 2 weeks max , or go now back to your dr and maybe think about switching to another. I take 100mg and prev. took 150mg for a good year or so, I can't comment really other than I do notice about half an hr after taking it in the morning I get sleep for an hour or so, then I am okay. Other than that I take many others meds fro chronic pain so hard to say, but I notice profound tiredness when I have either increased the dose or decreased to dose, but generally hasn't lastd more than a week

    hi all  remember that you can change when you take your med (you could take it either when you wake, or before bed, or any time of the day) to see if that helps with tiredness in the daytime
