Been taking the Zoloft I think a month now, at first week it’s okay, didn’t notice the anxiety but after 1week of taking it my anxiety is back. I’m taking 50mg of Zoloft a day and taking it 11:30pm I know it’s late but I was scared to take the medicine while I’m alone, I waited for my husband to be out from work, because one of the side effect is dizziness and no one is watching the baby, but I’m planning to change it to a 9pm because that’s my bed time sometimes. I have a doctor appointment next week. I’m scared because lately my head is aching from my neck to the top of my ears, sometimes I got migraine too. Took Tylenol it will go away for a bit but came again. I will ask my doctor if I can get an X-ray for my neck to my brain. I have a brother who passed away from a brain tumor. He never complained for a very severe head ache but he mentioned he’s having a head aches but tolerable. I’m scared that I will end like him. Praying this is just an anxiety. I start to exercise again and been drinking a lot of water. And I think Zoloft makes me hungry all the time.

It can take up to 6-8 weeks to become therapeutic, so hang in there! I wonder if the aching is from the Zoloft, maybe? Definitely something to discuss with your doctor.

Sending well wishes!

It’s been there before I’m taking Zoloft, the doctor said it’s from the anxiety and stress but supposed to be the Zoloft will help out my anxiety. I’m always out of breath. I wonder if I could ask for an X-ray. I’m really worried about it. My husband said it could be a muscle spasm. But it’s been like 3-4months of agony. I don’t want to end up like my brother with the mass on his brain. He passed away with that. And I don’t want also to have a clot clogging or something about blood. I know that when you are stress your blood pressure went high. I will talk to him about my blood pressure too. I’m just worried freak about my health especially I have a son to take care of. I’m sorry guys, I just need to vent out my worries. I change my time taking the Zoloft btw, I took it last night at 9pm now.

Bik31, I'm sorry that your brother passed away from a brain tumor.

But be positive. I hope your doctor's visit will go well for you.

Your doc may need to increase your Zoloft so you feel better like you did at first. They usually start you out lower so you have room to increase if you need to.

Worrying is going to make you tense and it will increase the pain in your neck and head area. So try to relax until you see the doctor. Make sure to tell them everything including that you did feel better in the beginning with the Zoloft.

I too am real sorry about your brother. Do try to stay positive. And let us know how your doctor appointment goes.

We are all here for you.

Hugs, Karen...

Bik31, how old was your brother when he passed away?

He was 53 years old. Thank you guys for all the reply. I have an appointment with my doctor. I will tell him everything what I feel in my neck. I don’t know if I ruin my neck from massager. My neck is a little bit swollen and a little bit hurt back in my right ears when I take deep breath. My husband said either it’s a muscle or pinch nerve or my lymph nodes. And my head sometimes is aching or dizziness probably it’s from my anxiety. I’m just assuming everything. I’m praying it’s just anxiety and hoping in my neck I just need to go to chiropractor l, nothing serious I’m praying.
