I currently take 100mg zoloft. I experienced bad headaches when I first started the zoloft, but they were easily controlled with regular tylenol. I would suggest taking tylenol at the same time as the zoloft to avoid the headaches.
As a side note, I would be VERY careful about stopping the lexapro cold turkey. I experienced moderate withdrawal symptoms when I tapered my zoloft from 200mg. When I got down to 50mg, I had to go back up to 100mg because the side-effects became unbearable. It might be different for you, because it sounds like you haven't been on the lexapro for very long, but still, be careful.
