I am new to this site and new to anxiety meds. I started with insomnia about 9 months ago, and the Dr. thinks it is all anxiety related. I have tried every all natural remedy out there with no success. They then tried me on Citalopram, but I couldn't tolerate it, so I am now on 25 mg of Zoloft in the morning and I take 1/2 a tablet of Xanax at night to sleep. I am on day 10 of zoloft and I am sooooo exhausted I can barely function. Is this a normal side effect and does it go away??

I suspect all of the anxiety and the medication are causing you to feel exhausted. Your body should adjust to the Zoloft and until you feel more energetic on the 25 mg dose I would let your DR. know you are not ready to increase your dose.

Everybody reacts in their own unique way to the meds.

Take care and be well.
