well.

i got a headache today, but the good(?) news is i don't think it's due to the zoloft at all.

it seems like a tension headache - specifically the kind i get due to problems i have with my neck and shoulders. it did not start with the little flash headaches, doesn't vary much in intensity. i did not have any of those flash headaches today or not so far.

so. i am giving myself the green light to go up to 50 mg tomorrow.

You know your body better than anyone else. And i thank you for
the information.

Donna

I hope the headaches (whatever the cause) will go away soon

And Im praying the 50 mg will help you !!!!

Thank you Blue and Donna .

Yes 50mg could possibly be therapeutic. i may need 75mg or even 100 mg. we'll see.

for now, i will be satisfied if i simply do not experience agitation with it.

the headache turned into a mess. it seems to be hybrid migraine-tension if that's possible. i finally threw major drugs at it to no avail. earlier took a muscle relaxer, and magnesium. neither did squat. then tried 75mg indomethacin plus 2.5mg lorazepam... those made a dent in things but, only a dent. also feel sleepy coz i'm not used to lorazepam any more... i just took a probiotic so i need to wait 20 mins to eat and take my zoloft. then i can sleep and HOPEfully wake up MINUS headache!

the headache was probably a migraine or combination headache, not just tension. i still have the tension in my neck and shoulders with no headache.

i took 50mg at 6 am. had a little nausea in the afternoon but the headache not worsen, and resolved after a nap. so far no others.

and so far no agitation. faaaaaaaaar from any agitation.

You are doing a good job telling us what you are doing.

I personally wish I were that good at doing the same with my meds.

So I really try at times, to follow your lead.

I have misplaced my magnesium and multi-vitamin. So those I have
to find.

Donna

Dear Donna,

i usually keep a log. but i got off the wagon with that. so since it's important to track esp when you start a med, i am using this thread to track.

it's silly... the log is one line to fill in, every night. and there's already columns for everything, it's not like i have to write sentences. just put in numbers or times or a word or two. 2 if you count the sleep map which is just a row to be x'd in where i slept.

but i haven't been able to get myself back into the swing of it. i have to copy the old one and blank it out and set up dates for august that's partly the hold up... sigh. that was the hold up in july too... gone now!

i hope you find your magnesium and vits. i just started taking magnesium citrate last night. on top of my usual supplement because that has other stuff in it which i need (esp B vits). now i have to go to the doc to get him to script me some vit D. sigh.
