    Dizziness sinus or withdrawal

    Hi I somehow forgot to take my sertraline for a week An now I feel dizzy I've taken them for past 3 days so not sure if it's down to that or my sinuses as my face and cheeks really hurt and I had a bad cold two weeks ago and blocked ears so might be a sinus infection? Worried it's ms or something

    Re: Dizziness sinus or withdrawal

    Sertraline withdrawal is the likely culprit if it started before you restarted it. Or Sertraline starting side effects from restarting. That med would be our of your system in a week so your Serotonin levels dropped and are you are now working your blood plasma back up to steady-state.

    The thing to remember is that this started due to a change in your meds therefore you have a root cause. And once settled this should go.
