I have the worst headaches! Is it stress or somthing else?

Question

I have the worse headaches almost everyday. It is a constant fullness and achy pressure. I am on zoloft 150 mg, so stress and anxiety is a problem for me. Im not even sure the zoloft is working. ...what could the headache be and how do i help it?

Answer 1

It might be a good idea to see your doctor about these headaches.

Eye strain could cause headaches.

If it aches going down the back of your head and in your neck, this could be a tension headache.  

I hope you will feel better soon.  Best Wishes.

Answer 2

Check this out: I went on Celexa for anxiety and started getting this weird head pressure. It wasn't really an "ache" but more like my head was pressurized, like it would be in an airplane but magnified. I went to a bunch of doctors thinking I had a tumor or something; I even had an MRI done. I finally figured out it was the Celexa. About two weeks after I stopped taking the stuff, the head pressure went away. I'll get it sometimes if I'm extremely anxious, but it's nothing like it was before. I used to cry because it scared me so much and no one would take me seriously about it. Definitely see if you can get off of Zoloft for a while. They'll probably try to get you to switch to something else, but refuse to try any new medications for at least 6 weeks. They might get worse at first when you're weaning off of the medicine, but eventually they should go away. I'm definitely not a doctor and I don't think you should take what I say too seriously. I'm just sharing my own story in hopes of helping you out.

Answer 4

That is a lot of zoloft.  You may consult your Dr. if you think is not working.  I took 100mg, a long time ago, and it helped my depression a lot.

Do your neck and shoulders get stiffened, then you get a headache?  That is usually a tension headache.  When mine does that I put a massage or heat or cold on it to loosen it up.
