    I had exactly the same problems when I started on Sertraline - the back of my head was buzzing but it did settle down but 5 months seems quite a long time. Maybe you should ask your GP when you next get a prescription.

    I had this before I started to sertraline, it's just part of the anxiety, do you practice meditation or other relaxation techniques?

    That is why I stopped....my head pain was daily and I went to specialist for my eyes....stopped sertraline and no more head pains or other stuff, just anxiety, crying episodes and agitation......hope this ends soon....had this since Christmas.....7 Days now.....sick of this....and Michelle it goes away if you stop that horrible drug
