Hello,

I've been having sleep desorders and anxiety since a long time, tried many anti depressants, now on Remeron 45 mg, does not help much, my doctor wants me to start Zoloft, I'm scared because some antidepressant are know to cause sleep disturbances, my doctor says not this one, anyone on this, responses are appreciated,

I dont know if it is like this for everyone.But i did know someone that was up for weeks at night and they finally found out it was zoloft.But it took a long time before that started to bother her.

Yes, this is what I'm worried about and I haven't had the guts to try it yet, still waiting to have the courage, thanks for responding

I wanted to ad they were on it along time before it happened.However it took them along time to figure it out what was causing the no sleeping.I guess you could try and if it starts discont it.It seem to me alot of doctors dont usally look at side effects that might be some people problems.Good luck in what ever you do.

Hi i have just come off Zoloft for this reason, i was only on it for less than 2 months.

Everyone is different but i would lay awake at night for many hours and sometimes not sleep at all. I am now starting to take Cepramil which could either have the same effect or make it better... i will let you know

Also i had to take sleeping tablets, but i do not recomend these as it does make it difficult to get up early for work, plus they are quite addictive, its worth trying different meds to find the right one for you.
