    Hi, I've been taking Sertraline for about 3 months now. I have just been upped to 100mg per day.

    When I first started taking it, I felt dizzy, anxious and had a weird pressure headache. the headache lasted about 2 weeks on and off. Taking Paracetamol helped it though. I had a few panic attacks and palpatations. I found I was jumpy and went for about a week sleeping only a couple of hours a night. I also completely lost my appetite and went for a couple of weeks eating barely one meal a day. I just didnt feel I needed it.

    This is all normal though. It will all go away. Stick with it and you'll be fine. I dont have any headaches now. I sleep well and I am feeling good about myself again!

    best of luck
