Does Sertraline HCL Cause Insomnia?
My 11 year olf grandson is on sertraline HCL 25 mg. how long should he stay on this medication. He also has a very hard time going to sleep at nite. What can we do to help him go to sleep at nite. Is this a side effect of the medication or does this go with being ADH? Thank you

Hello,
Sertralin has a known side effect of sleeplessness. Your grand son needs his doctor's consultation for discontinuation (please don't do it yourself)/change in dosage or change of medicine itself.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale
