Sertraline and ear bleeding

Hello Has anybody ever experienced ear bleeding whilst on sertraline/Zoloft? After four weeks on sertraline I began with bad headaches both sides I've never been a headache person. Then, week five I experienced bleeding from left ear, scabbed after etc . Went to walk in centre the GP has referred me to ENT. By week six I'd had enough and I'm no longer taking sertraline. Anyone else experienced this? Thanks 😊

Yes hopefully ENT will get to the bottom of it I'm not having much luck lately. Never mind. Things can always be worse.

I am on sertraline and I have noticed earache from the right ear not seeing my dr until 9th Dec but I will mention. Can I ask Flake did you just stop taking the sertraline or did you do it gradually. How long was you on the meds

Hello I was on it for six weeks and I stopped it four weeks ago. No more bleeding but it might not be related. I stopped abruptly but I wouldn't recommend that wait to see your doctor and discuss xx
