zoloft and sleeping

[scribbles440]

I've read on another forum that if your experiencing sleepiness, that you could try taking the medicine at night.  If i took it this morning say at 6:00am.  do i take one tonight? or wait till tomorrow night?

The best it is to ask your doctor. Have been said that I had the same problem with zoloft, in my case my depression is so severe that I am at 300 mg. which is very high but nothing is working for my, anyway I was taking them in the morning and I was sleepy all day, then my doctor suggested to try taking them at night and in my case he did not wanted me to skip a day so I did took them in the morning and then again at night and I did not have any problems with it.
Then the weird dreams started, and I asked him again so he told me that it is very common and that is way he started me taking them in the morning.
What I end up doing is to take 150 mg. in the morning and 150 mg. at night, so far I am not sleepy neither I have weird dreams.
Talk to your doctor and try to get your own balance, we are all different and have different reactions to this medications.
Good luck.

my dr said zoloft might keep you up, or make you tired.  when i took it in the am, i was so tired i had to take a nap in the afternoon. so, i take it a night and sleep good.
