I'm sorry you haven't been feeling well. I started to become depressed in my teens as well, but didn't get any treatment until I was in my thirties.
I recognize it is tricky to diagnose "major depression" in a teenager as what you feel may just be situational. Are you seeing a psychiatrist or did your general practioner prescribe your meds?
Are you saying that the zoloft isn't helping the depression, but HAS exacerbated your headaches?
This is something that your doctor needs to hear and your parents. I think you should talk to both and express your concerns about starting/ending this med.
Torachan is right - you are in control of your treatment, but be sure your treatment team (parents, doc, therapist) has full information before you do anything. They might be able to really help you.
Seldom.
