![]() I’m now back on Sertraline and sleep better because my mind is more settled and I also know that even if I have a bad night sleep I will cope ok the next day, it won’t physically hurt me. Also if I didn’t get much sleep whilst on Mirtazapine the next day was much more difficult because of the exhaustion. I then tried Mirtazapine for a year and it did help me to sleep but I was always so tired the next day. I came off Sertraline in Oct 2020 but this was a mistake as the Sertraline helped to stabilise me and a few weeks without it the insomnia returned as I was so anxious. I used them for 3 nights and they helped me to sleep and after that I slept fine knowing there was something I could take if I could not sleep. I haven't had a night's sleep without it in over a hello lovely ❤️ back in 2020 I was about 3 weeks into Sertraline and then prescribed Zopiclone to try for 5 nights to help with the insomnia. I'm proper anxious about stopping the Zopiclone though. I've also been taking a B vitamin complex with B12 and magnesium, which are supposed to help with nerves, and I've started seeing a counsellor (first session today) to try and get to the root of the anxiety and also give me some coping strategies. I've got done Dormesean (sp?) which is Valerian root and Hops which is supposed to be good for sleep, which I intend to use as a bit of a prop to get me through doing without the Zopiclone. ![]() I'm considering ditching the Zopiclone tomorrow night - I don't have a busy day on Saturday so will be less stressed about it. In that I'm feeling sleepy and less anxious in the evenings and less jittery and adrenaline-filled in the day. I think, tentatively that after ten days of Sertraline I'm starting to feel a bit better. Well, being unconscious anyway - it's not quite the same but it's better than being awake. I've been taking the Zopiclone each night since I posted, as sleeping. Hi all - thanks for all your messages and sorry it took me so long to reply, the app logged me out and I couldn't remember my password to get back in. I'm finding that fact that it's all a bit trial and error, and no-one really knows whether it will help or not, well. Because living week to week with the Zopiclone and knowing that this may be my last lot is, in itself, quite anxiety-provoking.Īny experiences you could share would be helpful. I suppose I'm looking for something to make me feel optimistic that the Sertraline will help with the sleep long term. Nights of no sleep make me feel really desperate and low. I'm certainly not feeling any less anxious generally, possibly more so. These feelings have worn off, but I'm so anxious about the sleep. The first week of Sertraline was hellish - was trembly, sick and really agitated. I know it takes a while to work, but my sleeping has worsened so I'm back on the Zopiclone for a further week after three days of no sleep at all. She has since prescribed Sertraline to try and address the underlying anxiety (there's a lot going on in my personal life as well as trying to look after two young children and run a small business in a post-Brexit economy) and I've been taking that for a week. Whilst it helped short term it didn't reset anything and when I finished the course I was back to not sleeping. Hi there - been struggling with sleep for a few months now and GP about a month ago prescribed Zopiclone for a fortnight to help reset.
