My brain feels weird like its expanding. This mostly happens when I'm using my phone or on the computer or stressed. I told the doc about the woozy feeling but he didn't say anything

    are you taking sertraline if so what mg? I get the dizzy and sickness feeling and I was given anti sickness tablet which really helps with the dizziness and a tad with the nausea maybe talk to your doctor and see if he will give you some on prescription.

      Hi. I'm not taking anything. But the reason why I'm asking if I should take it is because I'm going for an ultrasound for this lump tomorrow and I'm really worried and anxiety. Will taking the pill help or make it worse?

      Sertraline can take weeks to get into your system and things can get worse before it gets better but it different for everyone. My advice would be go to the ultrasound then go to your gp and have a talk. Iv only been on sertraline for 5 weeks and still get the a weird feeling in my head and shakes also nausea but try to beat the side effects because they are ment to be good tablets once they have kicked in. All the best for tomorrow
