Sertraline
Posted , 1 user is following.
Hi just after some Adice
I have been on sertraline for 6 weeks altogether now. I was one 50mg for the first 2 weeks then got told to up it to 100mg which I have done for 4 weeks. I do feel as though they are helping as having good days aswell as bad days. But for the last four days I have had really bad headaches and not sure If it the sertraline or not.

I know that my depression is a major cause of my headaches (which do seem to have intensified recently - I have had to switch from one med to Sert, but headaches were the least of my problems!)
I need to get some fresh air at least once a day. Tension in my body with the other depressive symptoms can give me headaches so I try to keep relaxed as much as possible. I also suffer from tinnitus so I need to mask that with soft music, which also has a calming effect. Are you worrying a lot (i.e. more than usual)? Are you able to take any pain relief for the headaches.
If you don't usually suffer with headaches, which I'm assuming you don't, this can be a worrying symptom. Keep an eye on things to see if anything else in your life has changed and could be affecting you, besides the meds. Could be a combination of more than one thing. Relieving the pain is the main priority. You will know soon enough if you think it is the meds - your body will know!
Keep us posted on your progress. Hopefully, you will be feeling better soon.
Best wishes,
