How do I feel less confused from sertraline and co-codomol?

I take sertraline every night, and co-codomol for toothache and I feel really dizzy and detached. I was feeling like this this morning before I took the painkiller actually, but the painkiller has made it worse. I've also got stomach ache. How do I bring myself back down?

I have been on Sertralene for the last eighteen months or so; it was prescribed for a severe anxiety problem. In my experience the problems you are experiencing are due more to the Sertraline than anything else. The feelings of detachment and emotional flatness are a recognised side effect of a class of drugs known as SSRIs (among many others) of which Sertralene is one. I advise getting your dental pain sorted out, then see your medical practitioner and maybe changing to another drug, Citalopram for example. I am currently coming off Sertralene, with medical supervision, and am already feeling better.
