its becoming a real problem.is it anxiety causing this or should i be looking at
something else thats causing insomnia

Has the sertraline helped you in any ways , or is the med not working. You are on a good dose and at 12 weeks you should be getting your sleep pattern back. Is it now just sleep or are your other problems not helped has well. if not i would be looking at another med/:shades:

only on max dose for 22 days

only on max dose for 22 days 200mg max dose

If they say 4 weeks to get in your system,should I be giving it more time

you said 12weeks it should be doing something, if not change meds:wacko:

[cmc6937]

sorry
8 weeks on 100mg and 4 weeks on 150mg

[braindead]

sorry
8 weeks on 100mg and 4 weeks on 150mg

thats plenty of time to see if its a good or bad med. if you dont feel any better in 12 weeks the med is wrong for you:shrug:

maybe it wont work now , and you need to try new. Alot think there fine and dont need there meds so the drop or stop taking them, when its the med thats making the well in the first place. I was on Prozac once and thought i didnt need it anymore after 6 months and stopped. 3 weeks later i crashed big time . i went back on Prozac but it nuked me off its Christmas card list never to work again :wacko:

I had bad insomnia for months after I got affected by severe anxiety. Like 5 months with 3 of them severe. Recently and thank god! I've been sleeping great.

It wasn't cured overnight but honestly I think it may have had to do with a chemical imbalance. Not sure what the case is with you but give it some time and you'll find sleep again. I eventually totally let it go, stop caring about sleep. it helped a lot.

Good luck !
