Often it resolves.: If you are taking it in the evening then discuss changing it to a morning dose with your provider. Also, ensure that you are using good sleep hygiene.

Hopefully: The insomnia that accompanies antidepressant administration may subside with continued administration although in some instances it may persist. Some individuals are sensitive to antidepressants. You could try taking the medicine about 12 hours later than you usually do to see if it has less of an impact on sleep. Talk with your prescribing physician about these concerns. Stay safe!
