Yesterday I was at work and all of a sudden I got really hot and dizzy and I felt like I could pass out. I didn t pass out I also felt like I could voimit. I stayed like this for about 15mins until I ate a piece of meat. The only medication that I take is Zolft 25 mg. I ve been on it for 5 weeks. I was on cexlia until I tried to come off of and I had a very bad withdrawal from it. I then went back on it that was in Oct of 2011 and I haven t felt good since. So I have been taking zolft 25mg for 5 weeks and I have good and bad days. I am a 27 female 5 8 and 140lbs. Please help thank you!!!

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
I do not think your symptoms are related to Zoloft. They rather seem to be due to hypoglycemia (which occurs due to a fall in blood glucose levels) or due to some anxiety. This would be true if you had not eaten anything for several hours. I would also like you to get a fasting blood glucose and a post prandial blood glucose done to rule out diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance. I would suggest you eat and drink something at regular intervals. Also, try some deep breathing and yoga to help control anxiety. Speaking to friends, family or a therapist about this can also help.
I hope I have addressed your concerns. I would be available for follow ups.
Regards
