Bad headaches whilst on sertraline

Treatment and medication
21

I did have side effects.. Just anxiety... but it's enough for me.. I'm sick of it...   I hope to God it stops soon.  I'm on 100mg...  It's only been 2 weeks on 100mg...  so it can take time....  SO i'm told   ... lol

Yes I've got anxiety to. Palpitations,feel weak and tingling over body. Not going out much so fed up and waiting

Hi Michelle.

i have been on Sertline for 7 months......and YES suffered with the headaches......for probably 2weeks or more? I say persavier.......

i even wrote a Help me post for those first few weeks, just awful some days a real bad head then a constant throb on one temple......did go eventually though....But if after I'd say 3 months you still don't feel right I would go to the doctor and let him /her decide if Sertline is right for you or not?

Good luck.

Hello Antsy Tammi, when you say off balance is it like a slight dizzy sensation, and your head fills heavy and full. Pressure would be a good way to describe it. Just wondering.

Headaches will ease off I had real bad headaches every morning nothing eased them was horrible but eventually they eased off by I'd say week 9

Hello I'm on Zoloft (50 mg). Just switched from Prozac (30 mg) for panic attacks...also taking kolonipin 0.25 prn. I'm on week 2. Did your panic attacks ever stop?

I have had that feeling since last night. Pressure feeling & a lot of the pain was in the back of the head. The nausea has come & gone because of the headache. Ibuprofen helped a little, bit not completely.

I also suffer from anxiety and panic.  For about 2 years now.  I hate it.  It's so against my personality type.  

One thing that has helped is meditation.  It's a slow process and takes practice, but it does help.  I was a big sceptic, but my panic attacks were so bad I was willing to try anything.  I use the Abide app on the morning and 10% Happier in the evening.  Start my day with something good in the morning, then decompress and relax in the evening.

Hope this helps.
