Does this sound like sertraline withdrawal

So I only took sertraline about 10 weeks, started on 50mgs and went up to 100mgs for about a month but had to wean back down and then off as it wasn’t working out for me. I halved the dose then ended up taking 25mgs for the last week. My doctor said I could just stop taking it so on Friday was the first day sertraline free.

This is the 5th day of no sertraline and yesterday afternoon I started to feel strange, very sleepy, dizzy when I move suddenly and sort of spaced out. Kind of like the symptoms I experienced when first starting this drug.

I’m just wandering is this probably linked to the sertraline and how long can it take for this to go away?

Thank you anyone that can help.
