How much sertraline were you taking?
last few nights have had terrible insomnia I usually take the tablet in the evening would the effects be less if I took it in the morning
Switching the time of day you take it is worth a shot. Escitalopram plasma levels will settle to a steady state after about a week at the same dose and then not varying much over 24 hours so in theory it shouldn't make a difference, but in practice it sometimes does. Let your GP know if it doesn't help.
