Bad headaches whilst on sertraline

Posted , 14 users are following.

I've gone up to 100mg of Sertraline 6 days ago. I had headaches whilst on 50mg but they are really bad the last week. I think they are migraines. Tight pulling sensation in forehead and across the head. Really hurts to move and even hurts to breath in through nose. Will this feeling ease ?

    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.
