I have the most awful headache. It has been here all day and its like a pulsating tightness in my temples, behind my eyes and feels like my ears are going to pop. Is this a side effect or something more serious xx

    hi kirsty,

    i've been on sertraline over a year now and still suffer from time to time with crippling headaches, unfortunatley it is a side effect of the medication and it does get better the longer you're on it, when i first started taking it for at least i'd say the first 6 months, (until i got the correct dosage as well, that plays a big part) i had headaches nearly every day. but it does get better than that, i started on 50, then 75 to 100 and now im on 150mg, have been since september and i can count on one hand the amount of times i've had a migrane or really bad headache attack so bear with it, it does get better :-)
