Caffeine withdrawal: Caffeine is something the body gets used-to if ingested daily, and eventually the body comes to depend upon it to maintain a normal state like with nicotine or other drugs. Suddenly stopping caffeine intake often causes sleepiness, headache, irritability, sometimes constipation. The symptoms improve day to day until gone but can take several weeks to abate fully. Ibuprofen/acetaminophen help.

See details: The zoloft (sertraline) dose is fairly high and headaches are a side effect of this med. Speak with the doctor who prescribed it.
