The PDR recommends that zoloft be taken in the mornings in one dose. Would there be a problem with taking it at bed time? Or better yet, what about taking it half in the morning and half at bed time?
A divided dose should make the serum (blood) level of the drug & its metabolites more constant.
My reason for asking is that I think this might help with the sexual side effects. By taking divided doses, I can wait until afterwards to take my latest dose.
Just a thought.

Sertraline's metabolites have more than a 24-hour half-life, so you certainly can take it once at bedtime. Splitting doses of sertraline to reduce side-effects was mentioned by Dr. Bob's Tips though: http://www.dr-bob.org/tips/split/Splitting-doses-to-diminis.html
