Missing doses of sertraline run the risk of relapsing into the symptoms being treated in the first place. Discontinuing sertraline abruptly can cause withdrawal symptoms like irritability, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, nightmares, headache and a prickly, tingling sensation on the skin known as paresthesias and may also include concentration problems, bouts of crying, depression, fatigue, diarrhea, memory problems, mood swings, suicidal thoughts and weight changes
