zoloft makes me tired

I am trying to figure out when to take Zoloft. It makes me sleepy so I am thinking at night is best before bed... Also, is Zoloft one that should be taken at the same time every day?

I am always tired, no motivation and just about everything makes me anxious. I do yoga, go to counseling, walk, ride my exercise bike, read positive affirmations, do EFT - you name it. I am utterly frustrated. The only time I feel OK Is in the evenings.

Can anyone tell me, when first starting Zoloft did it make you feel tired? And what dose did most start out at?

My doctor prescribe me Zoloft today 50mg, he said the side effect I will most likely get is insomnia!! Just wondering if there are Any other mother's out there who take this and have insomnia side effect how do you get thru your day with nooooooooooooo sleep I have a one year old daughter and and a four year old son ao sleeping when I actually get tired is out of the question... any advice? I'm 12 weeks on the dot!

Yeah I am still on 50 now not as wired but still have alot of energy when I first take the zoloft. I am suppose to be taking 3 mg of colonazapam a day with it but it makes me pretty much want to sleep so I cut them in half and it seems to be working. I still get wired in certain situations just not as bad as it was and I can sleep now.

My doc prescribed me Zoloft yesterday to help with anxiety because I cant seem to handle things anymore. My emotions are completely out of whack, I cry very easily, and when I get mad I can literally feel the rage inside of me ready to explode. Has anyone else taken Zoloft while pregnant. My doc says its perfectly safe and wont harm the baby, but I still question it, even though I trust my doc. What do you think?

The doctor prescribed zoloft for me about a week ago but I am so scared to start taking it. Does anyone know of any known side effects please tell me.

Zoloft is most effective for my obsessive thinking, but also makes me very tired. Can I take both at the same time? ( Currectly take Effexor XR 150mg.. Used to take Zoloft 100mg. daily.) If not, is there a different med that can be taken with the Effexor to help control the obsessing?

t help with my depression but when I took it with Paxil it did seem to keep my energy levels up. I keep hearing that Zoloft will make me tired and cause me to gain weight. I also hear that it seems to have the same sexual side effects that Paxil did even though it's not as strong an SSRI as Paxil. I was just wondering if there was anyone out there who has ever tried the combination of Zoloft and Wellbutrin.

Have been on Zoloft 25mg for 3 weeks new doc wants to put me on abilify 2mg with the Zoloft to see if it makes it work better. What sort of side effects does this cause and is it helpful?

Yes with .5 mg Ativan not with .25 mg. but I can only take one Benadryl anyway as 2 gives me jitters. Tonight I will just take the Ativan. Hopefully get some sleep. The Zoloft in morning at least kept me awake during the day but now I am pretty tired. I was on Zoloft years ago and wasn't on Ativan. Hopefully next week can bump it to 25 mg like I was supposed to. Anxiety still there and I don't like to be on Ativan if I don't need to.

Well in all honesty, you shouldn't be adjusting the dose yourself, any noone on here can really reccommend any meds as we are not drs. You should see your psychiatrist if you feel your meds are no longer working or you want to stop taking them. That being said, if you feel our of control, why did you want to decrease your medication? If you decreased and the anxiety was back, then the meds might be doing their job. Please let us know how everything goes.

Wellbutrin has been helpful for me in regards to depression as well as weight loss.

Then again, myabe it would solve the underlying depression or what not and I would be less tired...? What do you think I should try - give Zoloft another chance (I mean, hell, I'm tired all the time anyway) or something else (but what will they do to me, yikes??)?

One of the side effects of Zoloft can be insomnia, but it seems rather odd that it would begin affecting you after 2 months. Everybody goes through bouts of insomnia, so it's possible that this has nothing to do with the Zoloft. I would advise giving it another week. If it has not resolved itself by then, speak with the doctor who prescribed the Zoloft. Even though you are on the lowest dose, he/she may have you cut the dose in half to see if that helps.

I have not been on meds for 3 years.Cuz none of them worked for me.So now i am giving this zoloft a try.Today is my 3rd day taking it.For the 1st 2 weeks i'm cutting in half cuz i'm so sensitive to it.Hopefully it will kick in soon.I just can't live in fear everyday.I start temp work on Tuesady so i hope it starts working a little bit then or i will quit taking it.

my zoloft became ineffective. wellbutrin makes me dizzy. cymbalta's too expensive. prozac makes my brain feel weird. i have screwed up brain chemistry, but i want to get off of meds. how do i do this and manage to have a normal life--be able to hold a job, stay married, not yell at my kid, not think about ending my life, etc...?

BUT, i have been groggy, and plain sleepy and out of it all day. Could this be the zoloft making me tired in the morning? But yet keeping me from sleeping? Has anyone else experienced the fear of sleeping on zoloft, if so what did you do? Mr Dr told me to stop caffiene, but i dont anymore anyways. Need help with this, its already getting very upsetting. Thanks!

now the doc has me on zoloft and it has helped me tremendously... I am not tired all the time, I didnt have any affects but just a little not to noticeble ones in the beginning... I do have xanax, but I only take it when I feel an attack coming on... which that med makes me really tired and hard to wake up too... so i dont take it unless I cannot control my attack.. Zoloft worked for me, but everyone is different...

Hey, I am on Wellbutrin, 150mg twice a day and you're quite correct in that it's affecting the dopamion levels, whereas most other anti-depressants are SSRIs, affecting mostly the serotonin levels. I refuse to take serontonin reuptake inhibitors although they probably would make me feel calmer, less upset, but I prefer anxiety to feelings of lethargy, a "nothing matters, but so what?"-feelings and being tired, having no sex-drive and no reactions to things.

Absolutely, I feel this way when I am tired, and my anxiety makes me more tired than usual. Be sure you are taking a multi-vitamin everyday. I recently started that, and I feel much less tired during the day.

So i have been having terrible anxiety and panic attacks, today my doctor decided to prescrible me zoloft, i used to take lexapro and did well on it till i had my last child and tried to be on it again, it wasnt the same... I tried zoloft when i was younger and dont remember it going too good but i figure now that im older it will bee different, the pharmacist also told me that zoloft is the most common SSRI?

Hello, I have been taking Paxil for 10 years. At first I started taking it because I had anxiety problems while eating. As soon as I started paxil these problems went away for the most part in a few weeks. A couple years later I started having panic attacks. I recently began seeing a psychiatrist who increased my dosage gradually from 20mg to 60mg. I really haven't noticed any difference though at all when going from 20mg to 60mg of paxil.

I'm 21 years old and was diagnosed with depression when I was 17. I went on Celexa right away but it wasn't quite enough to get rid of my bad feelings. I got onto sertraline (Zoloft) and have been on that for about 2-3 years now. Recently, by which I mean last summer, I started to notice just how apathetic Zoloft made me feel. I started to date a guy who I am currently dating, but wasn't sure how I felt about him. We broke up after about a month.

I am not an expert but I can give you a few suggestions. As always ck with your dr. I would try the med at night. Give it a chance. You won't know if it makes your insomnia worse until you try. You should not need to sleep your day away and this will definetly interfere with school. If taking it at night doesn't help with your daytime tiredness and pm insomnia, it is likely that you are on too high of a dose. Some people are more sensitive than others when it comes to meds.

5 and I am at 75 and staying there!! It does make me tired but not as bad as the lexapro did, it makes me feel more alive but not as bad as the prozac did, make sense?? I really really hope this works for me!! I am running out of options!!
