I switched again taking 50mg zoloft in the morning and I'm feeling sleepy. It always hits me after 2 hours from taking it. When I took it at night I couldn't fall asleep. Is the daytime drowsiness going to go away? It will be 2 weeks this Friday I've been on zoloft. I don't know what to do. Everyone says it takes about 2 weeks to get your sleep back on track. I've struggled with insomnia since April of this year. I'm trying not to take any sleeping pills at night but if I do just zoloft at night it keeps me awake. They say it could cause insomnia. How long could that last?

    My insomnia lasted from four to five weeks.  I'm now on the maximum dose and am sleeping much better.
