Weird Feeling In My Head -Is it a Tumor ? Posted: 10-10-07 12:31pm
I'm a kid who suffers panic attacks, for
instance. When ever something feels wrong
I think something is wrong with me. Like
if my chest hurts I feel like I may have
something wrong with my lungs. Well I have
this weird feeling in the right side of my
head, and it's doing it at this moment. It
feels as if there is something is side,
and it feels kinda warm at the moment. And
I don't know if it's just me worrying too
much, but my eye's are messing with me. It
feels as if my vision is getting blurry. I
haven't taken my Sertraline HCL in awhile
so I ended up taking 50 mg today. See now
going back to what I said about me
thinking something is wrong with me when
something feels weird. I'm thinking to my
self I may have a tumor in my head, so
it's getting me all worked up.

Hi ImportRacer8107!
Sorry for delayed post.
How are you? What happened week ago when
you were having blurred vision?
Did you experience other strange symptoms,
too?
I'm afraid you got the blurred vision as a
result of discontinuing your treatment and
increasing your dosage by yourself.
Blurred vision together with other
symptoms such as seizures, abnormal
bleeding or bruising and hallucinating
(seeing things or hearing voices that do
not exist) are serious side effects from
using this drug.
For how long you are taking this
medicine?
50mg of Sertraline usually is used as a
initial dose or after a week of doubling
the initial dose.
You should know that dose changes are made
only by your doctor and should not occur
at intervals of less than 1 week. Do not
take more or less of it or take it more
often than prescribed by your doctor.
Do not stop taking sertraline without
talking to your doctor.
If you missed a dose try to take it as
soon as possible, but if it's already a
time for a another dose, skip the missed
dose. Never used doubled dose to make up
for the missed one.
If you still have blurred vision, please,
call your doctor!
