Zoloft And Prozac Headache
Author: Jonathan Higgins

It isn't uncommon to suffer from Zoloft or Prozac headache.
These powerful medications cause chemical changes in the brain.
These chemical changes are supposed to relieve your depression
or anxiety. Unfortunately, like with any medication you can
experience side effects. You should tell your doctor immediately
if you are suffering from a Zoloft or Prozac headache.

Give It Some Time

The Zoloft or Prozac headache you are suffering from could just
be temporary. It takes a while for the body to get used to the
medication and for it to begin to successfully treat your
anxiety or depression. However, if you are not noticing any
improvements in your mental health in 4 to 6 weeks, but you are
still get a Zoloft or Prozac headache from time to time, then
your doctor needs to know. Even if there is a marked improvement
in your mental health, it may be worth trying another medication
rather than suffer from the headaches.

I suffer from anxiety and I have tried Zoloft, Prozac, Celexa,
you name it. While I never suffered from a Zoloft or Prozac
headache, the different medications were not all equal in their
ability to treat my anxiety. In fact, with the exception of
Lexapro, no anti-anxiety has been able to satisfactorily treat
my condition. Usually these medications take a few weeks to kick
in. Lexapro started relieving my anxiety within a half hour of
first taking it. So, if you have a Zoloft or Prozac headache,
ask your doctor to try another medication that can successfully
relieve your depression or anxiety symptoms without giving you a
headache.

Other Factors Contributing To Your Headaches

Now, your Zoloft or Prozac headache may not be caused by the
medication alone. Other things do cause headaches. Tension
headaches are caused by the muscles in your neck and head
becoming cramped from months of tightening these muscles when
under stress. If tension is partly the cause of your headaches,
then you can't just rely on the medication alone. You need to
learn how to properly manage your stress. You may find that by
doing so, your Zoloft or Prozac headache will go away.

One of the best ways to deal with stress and keep it from
getter the better of you is to take deep breathing breaks.
Whenever you feel stressed out, find a place to be alone, lie
down on your back or sit in a chair and do deep breathing from
your diaphragm for two minutes. This will restore your breathing
which becomes shallow when you are anxious and also fill the
brain with calming oxygen. Whether or not you have a Zoloft or
Prozac headache, you should be doing deep breathing exercises on
a daily basis to relieve your anxiety and depression.
