"been battling depression for over 10 years. i have had a lot of stress and strain in my life. i take drugs and come off them when i feel better. so i am inconsistent with treatment. i have tried fluoxetine, citalapram and sertraline. i am trying to take 50mg of sertraline per day. however, for me sertraline helps with my anxiety to a point, but the insomnia has been dreadful. i awake in the middle of the night. poor sleep. then want to sleep in day as can&#039; t cope with no sleep. the body needs to recover during sleep. if i don&#039;t get this i become paranoid. i feel sertraline 50 mg for me has been poor experience. i am currently in process of weaning off. i may go back to citalapram as this was the best drug for me. we are all different. xx"
