Can I take my Sertraline in the morning if it prevents me from sleeping?

Since I increased my dose to 50 mg I seem to have more trouble sleeping. Should I take it in the morning instead of the evening?

Hello, thank you for your question!

Indeed, this is what we suggest to people taking this medication: if it prevents you from sleeping, taking it in the morning with breakfast can help solve the problem.

I hope I've been of some help to you, and if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
