I don't know if it is the Zoloft so the doc put me on 2.5mg Zyprexa to take at 8pm and I have had good sleep. I don't know how long I will continue on Zoloft if this weird feeling continues since it has also had positive effects for me (decreased mood swings, decreased headaches). Good luck.

Is Zoloft more likely to cause insomnia than other SSRIs? I have been having trouble sleeping after taking 50mg Zoloft/day for 5 weeks. If it has benefits for you, maybe your Psydoc could try another SSRI that had a less bothersome side effect profile for you.
