Thanks Blue.

pretty sure the headaches will stop. last time they were bad, but stopped within the second week. but that time i started at 50. this time i started at 25 hoping to avoid that. but maybe i can't avoid it completely.

as it is, they didn't last all day today. i think IF the headaches are worse again tomorrow than today, i will hold off on increasing the dose... until they improve but not necessarily until they stop.

if they are the same or better, then on sunday i will go up to 50mg (target is 100mg)

i can't remember when i see pdoc - mid august. he is on vacation right now.

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.
