I started on Zoloft a month ago today. I've noticed that when I move my eyebrows up and down that I can feel a tightness around my head. Like my scalp moves up and down too but feels tight? Is this normal? If so, does it go away? Thanks xo

    Hi Katie,

    In the first few months, its can be weird the feelings and sensations you experience i am on week 14 and i have been feeling really good, However i still get some tingling/ tightness in my head sometimes. I guess it is just normal and its the medication adjusting... So don t worry it will pass x

    I started a month ago too and I have a headace as well at the lower back of my head, it sucks but I think it will pass. The medication got rid of my tension headace from anxiety so I am not complaining about this issue as it will probably pass. Looking forward to further improvements, though I am somewhat bedbound from the fatigue side-effect.
