I Have Frequent Headaches, Sharp Pains Under My Left Breast. What Could Be The Reason For This?
frequent headaches, my back and neck have been killing me, I get sharp pains under my left breast, and it hurts very bad A couple weeks ago I was depressed and got put on zoloft , im only 17, and female, The first day i took it my head hurt really bad with a migraine , the next day the same thing happened, My head hurt really bad, I was at a friends and I started turning extremely pale, almost white as a ghost, then my fingertips and lips went blue, and i couldnt breathe, then i got extremely hot and started sweating, and fainted, then all i wanted to do was sleep. I went to the hosiptal by ambulance and they said i was pefectly fine, which cannot be true.! I started feeling better. Now recently within the last week, I`ve been getting frequent headaches, my back and neck have been killing me, I get sharp pains under my left breast, and it hurts very bad, an i get dizzy and then my left side of my breast starts hurting. Then after 20 minutes im okay, Ive been sleeping alot lately, and I get tire very easily, And my stomach has been hurting lots aswell, And no im not pregnant , i did a test and it was negative. i dont know whats wrong,

Welcome to Healthcare Magic
The drug is known to cause stomach trouble, headache, increased sleep as side effects. But I need to warn you to kindly not take any other tablet while you are on Zoloft unless you get permission from your Doctor to take it. There is increased risk of problems if you suddenly discontinue the drug as well like headache, dizziness, restlessness, nausea, vomiting etc. so kindly be aware of this and do not attempt to do so without advice from your Doctor. You need to eat healthy. Avoid junk food. Drink plenty of water. Try to remain stress free. Discuss with your Doctor about the side effects and the problems you are having and probably dose adjustment or new drug may be started.

Hello, welcome to Healthcaremagic. I feel you are having overdosage of zoloft. It is known to cause lethargy, ataxia, tachycardia and seizures in over dose. As the other cause could have been a cardiac disorder but the hospital investigation ruled that out, you are definitely on higher than required doses. You must visit your doctor for further adjustment of zoloft dose. Wish you good health.

you need to go see a doctor as soon as possible. it is quite normally to feel "not-so-hot" after being placed on zoloft...but the longest it should last is a week. i was put on zoloft and i reacted very badly to in also. the first week was terrible, the second fine and the third was very bad again. he took me off immediatly. now i am on something different, and it helping me :) good luck.
