When does everyone take their tablets, morning or night?

I was just wondering when everyone takes their tablets and whether it effects then at the beginning with side effects more if u take them in the morning than night time? I have found that two hours after taking them in the morning I start to get the side effects (bearing in mind I am only on day 3) of feeling sick, dizzy and shaky, after a while it seems to pass but working on reception and having these feelings really isn't helping my anxiety, would it be better if I took them at night instead so the side effects don't last as long and they pass whilst being asleep? Just I don't want to keep having time off work because of feeling so awful in the mornings. How long have the side effects lasted everyone?

Need advice guys smile

Thanks in advance x

      Okay well I am hoping the side effects ease soon, gonna try taking them at night time over the weekend and see how I get. Just feel so spaced out right now. Gonna keep at them though as they worked for me last time I had to take them.

      Yes definitely keep taking the sertraline. Glad you have no side effects. I am constantly tired and want to sleep all day. I now take the tablet in the evening but not really noticed any difference.
