A member asked:

On 50mg sertraline for past two weeks taken in the morning have terrible sleep problems is this a side effect and will this settle down?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Perhaps: This could certainly be a side effect. Your body may do better with dosing Zoloft (sertraline) at nighttime.
