When to take it?

[jrp]

Hello, new here. I was on Sertraline for a few months about a year ago and ended up going off of it, but I've been back on it now for 5 days. As I was browsing this forum, I noticed quite a few people recommending taking it in the morning? I've been taking it at night since I wake up at different times each day and I want to keep it regular. Is there a reason I should be taking it when I wake up instead of at night? I wasn't sure, so any insight is appreciated!

Hi Jrp, welcome back on the sert. boat ! For me it gave me insomnia so I assumed it was better to take it in the morning. My doc told me as I wish. I have read that sert make some people sleepy so they take it at night. Really it depends on how you react to it ! Take care

Hi Jrp I also take mine in the morning after breakfast.
The reason is because my gp says if I take it at night I might have insonia and taking at morning time is a lot easier for some people. Im doing great and im sure you will too best of luck.
