Hi all
For the last week or so I have been experiencing weird headaches and dizziness. It is not constant but is there more often than its not, especially the dizziness, which is making me sick. All I can do is lie down in bed but I still feel dizzy then! Its really starting to freak me out now.
I went to the gp who wants me to wean off my meds, Zoloft (50mg) which I have been on for 6 weeks. He believes they may be the culprit.
I do feel better in some ways since starting them, but I can't take this dizziness and the brain zaps. I also find my muscles twitching of their own accord. I am terrified there is something neurologically wrong, but the doctor reassured me there is not and if the symptoms persist he will send me for a ct scan for peace of mind. He said its too much of a coincidence that these symptoms started after taking the medication.
Anyone else experienced anything similar? This is starting to ruin my life, I can't even face going to work the last few days :(
Thanks

I also just noticed 5 or 6 hives on my forearms, they aren't itchy though, I noticed them when I first started taking the Zoloft and they were itchy then, but went away and now they are back. I wonder if I am having an allergic reaction to Zoloft?
