What Causes Sleeplessness And Uneasiness After Taking Sertraline And Zoloft?

My dentist prescribed clindamycin HCL for a abscessed tooth. The next day my MD prescribed me sertraline50mg. I am 5 2 and weigh 140lbs. I took the antibiotic in the morning and later that same day I took the Zoloft at 5.00pm. I could not sleep felt as thought I wanted to crawl out of my skin. The feeling of being drugged or something lasted all day. I have not eaten anything since yesterday, feel gaggy. Do these two drugs interact or was I perscived to much? Over 24 hrs and still don t feel right
