A member asked:

Doctor had me stop zoloft 25mg after 3 months. headaches while on it. been off three days now. feel great. should i worry about side effects ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: No, headaches can happen as a side effect from Zoloft and quit when off it. There is no residual, but do not use zoloft again-they would likely come back
