I too am on zoloft 50 mg...this is about 6 weeks since i have been on it--I am weaning off the benzos--so u know that means pressure in head and some headaches especially at night...Im sticking it out because i know they are making me feel better--but the head pressure i am hoping stops soon--sometimes it can be a bit bothersome but i jus get up and move around and try to live!

Im also on zoloft 50 mg tho n i felt the same exact way wen i started it but those feelings do go away most of the time. I know there bothersome but it does take two weeks to get the full benefit of the med n believe me i was gonna stop around my 3-4 day but im so glad i didnt cuz i feel soo much better !!! Its a very good med for anxiety....my dr did give me xanax to get thru the first couple of weeks n it helped out alot. Jus try n hang n there cuz its worth it n the long run believe me.I know it frustrating cuz we already feel bad n think the meds shud not give us bad side effects but they do usually go away, at least mine did n im so glad i stuck it out,alotta times people give up on the rite med for them too soon cuz of the side effects but jus try n hold out for 2 weeks but if the side effects r un bearable u shud contact ur dr. Ur not alone tho k so jus kno were all here for u too!!! Good Luck : )
