Chill...............: Start by taking a deep slow breath in through your nostrils. Hold the air for a 5 count in your lungs. Slowly exhale through an open mouth. Continue to do this until you have chilled out. Then consider that you only have a 10 to 20% chance of experiencing some initial dizziness. That means an 80 to 90% chance that you won't be dizzy. Most people are able to adjust to the medication quickly. Relax.

Zoloft (sertraline): Low dose zoloft (sertraline) very unlikely to do that. Have something to eat , so u would not feel nausea, otherwise u will be fine. Call your doctor if further questions regarding your medication.
