What can I do about [[Zoloft (Sertraline)|Zoloft]] headaches?

I take Zoloft for obsessive compulsive disorder and, although the medication

works well, it often

gives me dull headaches throughout the day. Anyone have experience with this

or know why this

happens?

I would not suggest changing your dosage without consulting your doctor first.

According to the official site, these are the more common side effects:
Some people taking Zoloft might have some side effects. The most common Zoloft side effects are dry mouth, insomnia, sexual side effects, diarrhea, nausea, and sleepiness. Not everyone gets side effects.

As yours is different, definitely give your doctor and/or pharmacist a quick phone call.

How long have you been taking it, and at what dosage?

If you've only recently started, it may take a while (i.e. weeks) for your body to fully get accustomed to it. Initially when I started taking it, the first couple of weeks I was a bit jittery and at one point woke up in the middle of the night with a panic attack; after a few weeks though things stabilized and my body and mind seemed to not have any wacky surprises.

You could also try adjusting the dosage and then after this acclimatization period try upping it and see if you can tolerate it better then.

Have taken Zoloft for around 6 years now.
