I cut it in half because it's too much for me but I like how it calms me enough to sleep but I can still function (DS is 6 weeks old so I need to get up at night). Plus it helps my anxiety the next day as well even though I'm on an SSRI. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zoloft-help#post-2503744 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 21:00:21 +0000 Hoots 2503744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take zoloft in the morning because it seems to amp me up. To combat the insomnia, my doctor and DD's ped. okayed sonata as a sleep aid until the upped dosage kicked in. It has a short half life so I can take it before bed and be ready to feed her a few hours later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zoloft-help#post-2503586 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 18:25:57 +0000 Silva 2503586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long have you been at the higher dose? You can experience side effects with an increased dose, and insomnia/trouble sleeping is a common one with Zoloft. Typically those side effects go away within two weeks, after you adjust to the increase.<br /> You can talk to your doctor about taking the med in the morning (if you currently take it at night), or maybe trying a temporary sleep aid like melatonin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zoloft-help#post-2503574 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 18:07:13 +0000 yoursilverlining 2503574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping for you! </p> <p>I've taken Zoloft on and off for like a decade and the only problems I've had with sleeping was higher doses made me grind my teeth, which apparently is a common side effect. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zoloft-help#post-2503503 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 16:23:46 +0000 Emarie5 2503503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi friends-<br /> Been on Zoloft for years. Started when I was pregnant with my first. Gave birth to my second a few months ago and have had horrible ppd/anxiety. Currently, on 100mg of Zoloft, dr just switched me to 150mg. I'm having trouble sleeping and eating. Has anyone had any positive experiences upping the dose?? Any help would be great. </p>
