Because of my anxiety/OCD, I tend to annoy my parents by obsessing over things. Last year, I annoyed them by worrying about my sleep.

Today, me and my mom got into an argument over my meds. She wants me to try a full Sertraline at night, instead of half in morning, half at night. I tried it, and it makes me wake up at 6:00, and today, when I went without Sertraline, I felt sleepy, and not really myself. After I stressed out over it, she said to forget it and go back to half in morning, half at night. She told me that when I take a half in the morning, I' m sleepy and irritable. I told her with no Sertraline in the morning, I feel sleepy, and that I didn't feel "happy".

What do I do?

So you are on generic Zoloft, sertraline. I found some articles and posts on Psych Central that may speak to your question.

Psych Central - Search results for Sertraline

My advice, send mom to a NAMI Family to Family class where she will hopefully learn to not tell you what to do but to make suggestions in the form of observations. You are the one who has to deal with this, so you should be the one calling the shots (sorry I don't know how old you are, but still....)

I'm 22.

I still live with my parents because of a brain injury I had at birth.
