Should I take Sertraline in the morning or evening and why?

67 -year-old mana year ago

Hello, is it better to take Sertraline in the morning at breakfast or in the evening at supper and why? I started taking it at breakfast and it says on the container at supper! I started taking it at breakfast and it says dinner on the container! Thank you.

Hello Sir,

It is often suggested to take it at suppertime because it can cause drowsiness. If this is not the case for you, it can be taken in the morning.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
