Why Would I Wake Up And Hallucinate At 3a.m Every Night While On Zoloft For ADHD?
Hello, when I was little I was diagnosed with ADHD however this may sound stupid but when I was the age of 10-11 they gave me zoloft for ADHD however since then I was watching scary videos such as 3 AM videos and it some how woke me up at exactly 3 AM almost every night and would hallucinated it or happened to me for years
Zoloft can affect the sleep and dreams are very common as well as perceptual experiences you mentioned. You can take the same in the mornings if it affects your sleep. Also, Zoloft is an SSRI, used for anxiety and depression and not a primary drug for ADHD.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jagadeesan, Psychiatrist
