Hey loves, just wondering if anyone had experienced vertigo /had their sense of balance effected when withdrawing from sertraline or starting the contraceptive pill. Have never experienced this before and the only difference in my life are I ran out of my medication for a few weeks so had to drop my dose in half (sertraline) to make the pack last and have started the contraceptive pill so am wondering if anyone else has experienced similar or noticed there being a link? It's less lightheadedness than a feeling of sort of internal imbalance like mild vertigo. Thanks xx

Yes sertraline can do that.

You also get the brain zaps, I found the dizziness followed a spell of zaps for a couple of hours afterwards.

Goes away in a few weeks when you’re fully off of it
