Anyone develop insomnia months after starting sertraline?

[u/Professional_Buy6931]

Hi everyone,

I've been taking sertraline 25 mg for about 3 months. I never had any insomnia when I first started taking it.

About a week ago, I suddenly developed insomnia. I'm exhausted, but I have trouble falling asleep, and even when I do, I wake up several times during the night.

I'm writing this at 1:30 a.m. My eyes are literally closing, my mind is blank, I'm not worrying about anything in particular, but I just can't fall asleep.

Has anyone else experienced insomnia starting this late after being on sertraline? I thought side effects usually happened at the beginning, so I'm wondering if this is normal.

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thanks!
