Sertraline increase - looking for a hand hold

[AnxieteaAndBiscuits]

I've been on 50mg sertraline for the last 18 months. Prescribed for health anxiety and general anxiety disorder. All early side effects were stomach/bowel related and they all settled pretty quick. GP increased my dose to 100mg 9 days ago. Started with a horrendous headache 5 days ago (Friday). I feel sick and at times dizzy. I wasn't sure if the headache was hormonal as I was due AF on Saturday and these headaches normally clear up when it arrives. Got AF on Monday but still not relieved.
I'm so scared of side effects and I know sertraline can cause acute glaucoma. The headache feels like a pressure/tension headache around my head with pressure around and behind my eyes.

I know it's stupid but it's freaking me out.... which isn't helping my head. Any advice appreciated

Hi! Just wanted to share that I’ve also increased from 50-100. I’m on day 3/4 I think? But I also feel sick as a dog and headache…. Almost feels like a hangover! I spent a few days on 75mg as I’m terrified of the side effects however they’re much better for me than when I was on fluoxetine earlier in the year (I couldn’t eat, couldn’t sit still, couldn’t concentrate and genuinely didn’t want to be here any longer. I feel it took a good few weeks to see a difference but it was only mild hence why increasing. I found keeping a diary helpful so that might be an idea? You’re not alone xxxx

@everysilverliningandallthat Thank you for the reply. How are you feeling now??
My headache is less now, just like a very mild pressure in my head. Nausea coming and going but is eased when I eat!?! But, now I've started with the jaw clenching.... completely forgot about this side effect.
My mood has improved and I'm much less anxious (apart from worrying about my headache and that I've actually developed a brain tumour!).
It really helps knowing you're not alone. I've never thought of keeping a diary bit think I definitely will xx
