A member asked:
I am having nightmares as a side effect of starting sertraline 25mg. is this a side effect that will diminish, or is it more likely to persist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
SSRI and nightmares: Consider adding a hypnotic sleep medication for a month or two. SSRI's disrupt sleep architecture. This may diminish over time.
