Hi,
I was just wondering who else on here is taking sertraline and if it affects your sleep at all?

I've been taking it for nearly a year now for depression and anxiety but in the last month or so I've started having really realistic, stressful nightmares. I wake up in a cold sweat and feeling confused because it takes my mind a while to adjust back to reality.
The nightmares usually involve events that see my life falling apart and quite often I have cruel dreams about my boyfriend deserting me. As I said above they are really realistic and upsetting and they affect my mood for the majority of the day.

Is anybody else experiencing the same and how do you cope with it?
Also, is it a side effect of your medication or would you put it down to stress?
