i keep getting what feels like a head rush, I'm sitting watching tv & all of a sudden the room starts spinning 😷 I hate dizziness so I jump up when it happens as in scared I'll pass out!! Does Sertraline do this to you? This is my first day on it although I was on it years ago I can't really remember if this happened.

Ldoc1993, most likely from the Sertraline. I was on Zoloft years ago and remember having some effects like that at the beginning. Interestingly enough, I react the same way when feeling a head rush and room spinning....I jump up for fear I'll pass out. The better thing to do is to sit still and let it pass. You don't want to complicate matters by falling. Might be wise to call your doctor and just let him know. Wish you well.

Hi! Just wanted to chime in and say that the exact same thing happens to me but I have yet to be on medication. So, this sudden rush and dizzy spell could be an anxiety flare up. This is how each of my panic attacks start. I believe it is an adrenaline rush.. It's so scary. Hope you will feel the positive effects of your meds soon! ❤️ Hang in there
