So yeah, I upped my sertraline dose to 100 mg yesterday-it was just 50 mg for the past year. Last night though? I felt super dizzy out of nowhere. Could tht be a thing? Plus, the night before I totally forgot to take my 50 mg until around 11 pm-oops!

Hi,

I just started taking Sertraline too,and I've had some dizzy spells. Maybe you're experiencing the same thing?

Yeah, I started it a year ago, but then they bumped up my workload, so I've been feeling super dizzy lately:/ honestly, trying to keep everything together is rough.

Been on sertralien 2 years, went from 50 to 100 to 150 mg. Took meds properly for a day or two and dizziness subsided if 100 mg caused it. Anxiety might be higher after raising dose. My doc gave me lorazepam when I was anxious.

If you have Meniere's, dizziness is common. Doc prescribed lorazepam for dizzy spells too. Might calm down with rest, no alcohol. Keep going, gets better.
