Hi all! So I've been on 150mg for 2 1/2 weeks now and a week in I  started having bad headaches. I take migraines but these feel more like bad tension headache maybe?? They are sometimes accompanied by nausea. Are these a side effect of the increased dose and will they pass?

    Hi

    I have been off Sertraline for 10 days. I have bad headaches, nausea and a feeling as if my head is waterlogged. Sounds like your symptoms are similar and probably due to changing the dose.

      Hi! Why did you decrease your meds? I've seen a lot of posts from people who are weaning off sertraline because they feel better, only to be bombarded with withdrawl symptoms. I was on cipralex for years and only changed to sertraline because the cipralex had stopped working. I'd be too scared to withdraw if it works for me because of how difficult tapering up has been. I hope you're feeling better really soon xx

    Nausea is a common side effect but it will pass if not you might be on too high a dose
