Can Alcohol Consumption Cause Migraine?

Migraine and alcohol combination most likely factor
Detailed Answer:
I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.
At times it may be difficult to exactly pinpoint the cause of such symptoms in particular when there already is a history of episodes of lightheadedness in the past. Migraine is often associated with episodes of neurological symptoms most commonly visual ones, but can also take other forms like hearing phenomena. It is also know for alcohol to trigger migraine attacks and exacerbate them.
So in the setting of the association of migraine and alcohol I would say they are most likely responsible for the manifestations. As for Zoloft I do not think it was directly responsible, although as a drug which also acts on central nervous system it may have facilitated it by making you more prone to dizziness.
I remain at your disposal for further questions.

Detailed Answer:
I imagine that anxiety was an issue you had to contend with, Zoloft apart from depression is also commonly used for anxiety. As I said Zoloft acts on central nervous system and alcohol as well. So the combination of antidepressants and alcohol is not recommended as the possibility of negative effects like lightheadedness or dizziness is increased by their combination. In the setting of migraine that is even more likely.
I hope to have been of help.


You're welcome.
