Feels like I am on a boat

[NinaRibena]

Hi All,

I started getting panic attacks around March of this year and since then have been taking Sertraline 50 mg. However, for the past few months I have been feeling like I am on a boat. It makes me feel dizzy and if I am standing it feels like I will fall over. It is especially bad when I am lying down trying to go to sleep at night. Does anyone else experience this? I have only had it since taking the sertraline so I am wondering if it is the medication or just my anxiety in general.

Thanks,

Nina

I get this all the time it is a symptom ,I don't take sertraline so I don't no the side effects it be worth you having a chat with your gp :)

I went to my GP this morning. It is not a listed side effect of sertraline and she checked my ears and they were fine. She has prescribed me prochlorperazine to see if that helps with the vertigo feelings so fingers crossed. :)
