    Yes, if I'm anything to go by - been on 50mg and now up to 150mg and still think the dizziness which appears a short while after I have taken my dose (at breakfast) is caused by Sertraline.

    Yes it can make you dizzy. Normally this is only there in the beginning but for some it may last longer.

    Hello

    Dizziness was my main symptom. I had the occasional days were it stopped, but I seemed to always be teetering on the edge of light headnesses. I'm now in withdrawal from Sertraline and understand your frustration with constant dizziness. I do hope this ceases for you asap.
