How long does it take for Zoloft (Sertraline) headaches to go away after you have stopped taking the medicine?

I had been taking to medication for about a month on 50mg per day, and the headaches started about week 3. I have stopped taking the medicine for about 4-5 weeks, but I am still getting the headaches. The pain comes and goes at different times of the day, and I have good days and bad days, but most days I have them. The pain is predominantly on one side of the head just behind the right ear and just above the neck. It is a throbbing/pulsating pain. When should I contact the doctor?

    I would doubt that this sort of localized headache is due to Zoloft (or any other specific drug). Discuss this with your doctor.

    I don't think it has anything to do with the Zoloft. Yes, see a doctor.
