Question 1

does zoloft (sertraline)  make you tired?

Accepted Answer

For some people: Yes for some people it can make them tired which is why it is recommended to take at bedtime sometimes.

Question 2

i have been on zoloft (sertraline) for 4 months.i have been on 200mg for 8 weeks. only now am i experiencing super tiredness,dizzy,nausea,no appetite. this normal?

Accepted Answer

Side effects: These are definitely in the realm of side effects. Did these side effects occur suddenly or slowly over time. Slowly over time would make more sense as the Zoloft (sertraline) begins to take effect. This medication may not be the right one for you if it starts to cause difficulties in other aspects of your life (with respect to side effects). If nothing else has changed or is causing this of course.

Question 3

on day 6 of zoloft (sertraline) and feel tired and kind of sick. i usually exercise a lot but have not been this week. could it help if i start back exercising?

Accepted Answer

Zoloft (sertraline): Zoloft (sertraline) can cause side effects of tiredness and nausea, at least temporarily.  Hopefully they will pass within a couple of weeks.  If exercising in general helps you feel better, it may work this way at this time also.

Question 4

i have been on 125mg of zoloft (sertraline) for a few years now and i'm tired all the time. i can't take less because last time i tried it made me sick/anxious. ?

Accepted Answer

Need more.: It sounds to me that you are still depressed and may need to increase your dose  . Talk to your doctor about it.

Question 5

are zoloft (sertraline) fatigue symtoms temporary?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If this is an initial side effect this is likely temporary.  If you have been taking the medication for a month or more before experiencing this probably not.  Consult your doctor to see about this symptom in your case.

Question 6

no sleep for days on zoloft (sertraline) and not tired, i have to force myself to sleep?

Accepted Answer

Don't know your: diagnoses? Insomnia can occur with zoloft (sertraline) but you shouldn't have NO sleep. Do you have bipolar spectrum disorder? Please let you physician / psychiatrist know asap if you have stopped sleeping.

Question 7

i just started taking zoloft (sertraline) and everytime i.feel tired why do zoloft (sertraline) make you lethargic?

Accepted Answer

Side effect : Zoloft (sertraline) is an antidepressant that can cause side effects, including tiredness. In some instances, these side effects are temporary, where the side effect goes away with time. In other instances, it can be a side effect that lasts as long as you continue the medication. Best to discuss these with the prescribing physician.

Question 8

i've been taking 100mg zoloft (sertraline) for about 1 and 1/2 year but i feel tired, sluggish, an have little motivation. i want to stop taking it or try a diff ad?

Accepted Answer

Discuss with your Dr: You have some good points as you are on a relatively good dose of the sertraline, yet have the symptoms as described.  For continuity of care and to assure the treating physician, who knows your case best, it is important for you to discuss these important issues and concerns with them. Best wishes.

Question 9

celexa or zoloft (sertraline) for fatigue?

Accepted Answer

No: If your fatigue is related to depression or anxiety then both Celexa and zoloft (sertraline) might help.

Question 10

does zoloft (sertraline) and buspirone cause fatigue?

Accepted Answer

No: In my practice, with my patients, I have not seen a patient with fatigue caused by either zoloft (sertraline) or buspirone, either along or together.
If you are taking them for depression and anxiety, fatigue may be caused from either underlying condition.
Please consult with your treating physician.
