I've been on sertraline for a month and a half now and I'm starting to feel like its doing me good but last night when i was getting my hair done i started to feel unwell and fainted and when i came round i was a bit sick, luckily there was a first aider there and she checked my pulse and that was fine and when i got home i did my blood pressure and it was slightly low but it was still in ideal.

This has never happened to be before, I've been having my hair dyed by the same person since i was about 13 and I've never fainted in my life. I'd ate before my appointment and id had enough to drink so i don't think it could be that.

I'm just wondering could this be because of the tablets as it s the first time I've had my hair done since i started the tablets?
