Insomnia is listed as a common reaction to sertraline. Often times these types of side effects dissipate the longer you are on it. If it does not improve in the next several weeks, discuss options on dosing and medication with your doctor.

Please discuss this with your Psychiatrist who knows your medical history. If you are not comfortable with your Psychiatrist please see another for a second opinion.
