Is Zoloft better taken in the morning or at night

my doc did not specify either. i just take it in the late morning/afternoon

When it is prescribed is usually dependent on how it affects you, & it does affect different people in different ways.

If Zoloft makes u feel drowsy, then it is best taken at bedtime. If it makes u feel energetic, then it is best taken first thing in the morning. If you're just beginning a course of treatment & do not yet know how Zoloft will make u feel, then u should probably take it at bedtime & if it keeps u awake, switch to first thing in the morning.

Zoloft does promote beneficial sleep & helps with insomnia, but that does not mean that drowsiness will be a side effect for everyone. Also, just in case u r one of the ones who suffer from drowsiness, u should be careful driving & operating machinery until u know for sure how the drug will affect you.

Zoloft, like many SSRIs can increase the appetite & cause weight gain. It is important to weight yourself at the same time every day to keep any potential weight gain in check.

Take this medication exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not take the medication in larger amounts, or take it for longer than recommended by ur doctor. Your doctor may occasionally change ur dose to make sure u get the best results from the medication.

Stir this mixture & drink all of it right away. To make sure u get the entire dose, add a little more water to the same glass, swirl gently & drink right away.

It may take 4 weeks or longer before u start feeling better. Do not stop using Zoloft without first talking to ur doctor. You may have unpleasant side effects if u stop taking this medication suddenly. Store Zoloft at room temperature away from moisture & heat.

It depends. Usually it is best at the evenings, cause you do not experience as much sideeffects. But if it keeps you up, you're going to have to swich to the mornings.
