Worried about dizziness

Posted , 1 user is following.

hi. im just wondering if anyone can offer any advice. ive been on and off sertraline for a few years, with my highest dose being 100mg at one point. i remember having side effects such as headaches and feeling tired, i also had internal vibration feelings but they all wore off and i really felt the benefits of sertraline. i eventually came off them and was off them for over a year when my doctor put me back on them because my anxiety got bad again. i was started back on 50mg and almost instantly the side effects hit me. i was only on them for a week and had to lower the dose to 25mg. i had really bad dizziness, headaches, chest pain, no appetite, constantly tired, shortness of breath, increased panic attacks...so after being on them for 20 days ive stopped. im on the 3rd day of withdrawal now and im still getting the dizziness, this is worrying me the most. my doctor has put me on fluoxetine instead but im too scared to try them because of side effects. can you offer any advice from your own experience of side effects?
