Sometimes: Although that is not the most common discontinuation symptom I hear, it is definitely possible. Irritability and dizziness are common. There could also be some other factor, such as another med you take or a drug interaction. Discontinuation effects usually resolve in a couple weeks, although some people have prolonged effects. If this doesn’t improve, you’ll want to call your doctor.

I get these random spells of feeling "high"at times. I don't use any drugs and I'm wondering is it from weaning off of 50 mg Zoloft (sertraline) or sleep deprived.
