Sleeping issues on Zoloft

Question

Asked for Female, 17 Years

I have been taking Zoloft for about a month or two now, and have been noticing that I’m not sleeping so well. I just bumped up my dose to 100mg three days ago. I’ve been waking up with a feeling of my stomach dropping and just panic honestly, almost like those dreams when you wake up when you’re falling. I’m rather concerned since I haven’t been able to sleep for more than 2 hours at a time and night. I’m being treated for anxiety and depression.

Are you consuming Zoloft with doctor's advise, if so please consult your doctor. It is not advisable to increase the dosage without medical advise. You will be inviting unwanted trouble. Best to go as per your doctor's guidance and advise.
