QUESTION!!!

[1scareddj]

If anyone out there is on Zoloft I need to know can I take like tylenol or something for headaches??? I keep getting these tension headaches but I am too afraid to take any tylenol or anything because it might interact with my SSRI.....any suggestions??

hey there...I took zoloft for 3 years and took tylenol and never had any problems. I did however get really nauseated if i took ibprofen or motrin so I would not recommend that. You should be fine if you take a tylenol because it does not have any anti=inflammitory stuff in it.


If you are getting chronic tension headaches, you can also take pamprin, even if its not that time of the month. It works great and does not interact with the zoloft. (it also lightens my mood)

I know that you trust people on this forum, but please....don't take medical advice from the internet - you just don't know who's telling you what. (This is more of a general statement, and not directed at you personally).


The internet is great for general information, discussion, comparing ideas, etc. but when it comes to what drugs to take, dosage, or diagnosing an illness I get really nervous when people take advice they've seen on the internet.


Always call a pharmacist and ask questions like this - that's what they're there for.

Thanks Sage -


I did call my pharmacist...everything is ok...heh heh I do agree with you though about the medical advice thing. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in my thoughts that I don't even think of the most obvious answer to my question. Thanks! [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img]
