Bad insomnia since starting sertraline!
Hi guys,
So I recently got moved from 20mg of citalopram to 50mg of sertealin. I take it in the morning when I wake up, but for the past three weeks (since I started them) I CANNOT sleep 😭 Some days I do around 30,000 steps, my body absolutely exhausted and I feel tired, but my mind feels wired. Like I can just feel that switch to transition to sleep will not flick off. Sometimes I even think I can feel tremors inside me, like there's a poor traumatised dog in there shaking! Sounds wild but I can't explain the sensations.
Currently only able to 2/3 hours of sleep when not on sleeping aids to help. Ideally I don't want to be having to take zopiclone or promethazine hydrochloride to help me transition. I suffered from insomnia before this, but not because my sleep drive wasn't there. I've always had a sleep drive, but not right now. Does this last forever? I can't cope with 2/3 hours sleep a night. I feel awful 😭
Alas, it has helped with my daytime anxiety a lot already! Any help, info or advice would be great. Thanks!!
