    When do I take my meds?

    Hi

    Ive been prescribed 50mg Sertraline and was told to take it in the morning with breakfast. I dont eat breakfast!!!

    Can I take it at evening meal?

    When do other people take their meds?

    Thanks - Liz xx

    Hi Liz, I am not a breakfast eater either but I have been on Setraline and took it with just water or a cup of tea. If you are still concerned about taking it on it's own, then take it with the first thing you each each day e.g. mid morning snack or lunch.
    You could have been told to take it in the morning because the doctor thought it could help you relax and it it is supposed to have a relaxing component too.
    Or you could force yourself to eat some breakfast, even if it just a piece of fruit or a cereal bar.
    Ask your pharmacist if there is any harm in taking it on an empty stomach if that concerns you.
    Take care

    I have to take meds in the morning with food. Never been a breakfast eater but manage to shove down a slice of toast with them.

    Ohhh don't miss breakfast! Most important meal of the day.

    I just have fruit but that is better than nothing. Bananas are fab!
