Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

Yes, it is safe to take Nytol with sertraline, though be advised this may make you sleepier than Nytol by itself. I would recommend not drinking alcohol while taking sertraline. Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant, and sertraline is an antidepressant, so alcohol would counteract sertraline's positive effects.
