▲ 1 r/zoloft

17M. Diagnosed with OCD (obsessive thoughts), Anxiety disorder, Panic disorder, suspected ADHD.

Current medications and doses:

Sertraline: 50mg once daily in the morning (started 1/4 tab for 4 days, then 1/2 tab for 4 days).

Sulpiride (Eglonyl): 100mg daily (50mg twice a day, dose was doubled 3 days ago).

I started this treatment a week ago. My psychiatrist told me Sertraline wouldn't cause drowsiness, but for the last 3-4 days I feel completely sedated and have hard time doing anything but sleeping. Yet taking naps during the day doesn't help much and seems to only make me feel worse. I feel straight up depressed since I'm constantly too tired to do things I enjoyed. I can't contact the doctor right now and have to wait 3 more days for the appointment.

Is this level of sedation normal during the first week of Sertraline titration? Is there a way to deal with this easier?
