Taking Zoloft For Depression, Having Insomnia, Experiencing Bouts Of Dizziness, Vertigo . Should I Stop Taking Zoloft?
I have been taking Zoloft 50 mg for about 4 months for depression. About six weeks ago I noticed that the drug was not helping me any longer and I was having insomnia. I was also experiencing bouts of dizziness, vertigo, and feeling as I would pass out then it would go away. I explained this to my doctor on my followup and he said it was just my body getting used to the medication. He upped my dosage to 75mg daily and last night I blacked out while driving and had an accident. I had no indicators before it happened and I do not smoke or drink and I am otherwise healthy. Why did this happen and should I stop taking Zoloft?
