    Yes. Dizziness is a symptom of anxiety. Also it can be caused by the be medication and especially when you withdraw from it. I am now off Sertraline for one day and have experienced dizziness since withdrawing.

    Some people experience dizziness while on the meds.

    I've been getting random dizzy spells lately. I'm guessing it's from the sertraline personally but who knows
