Always tried on sertraline?

Since starting 50mg everyday all day I’m so so tried. Even though I’m getting 9 hours sleep a night. Is this normally?

thanks for replying, I’ll be going into my 6th week of taking it.
It usually takes 4 to 6 weeks for sertraline to work. Side effects such as feeling sick, headaches and trouble sleeping are common. They're usually mild and go away after a couple of weeks. I would ask for a telephone consultation with your GP as the medication could be too much. I take citalopram in the morning for depression and amitriptyline at night for nerve pains. I have first thing in the morning I feel tired but after doing some exercise like ie I can use my stationary bike (if I'm not in the grip of depression) I dont feel so tired. I hope this helps.
The reason behind the upper dosage was 2 different events happened which affected me badly. Sertraline has been a lifesaver, I used to experience panic attacks countless times a day every day. Now they are very rare. Hope this helps
