Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It looks like you are stressed up & neglect your diet. When you are not properly hydrated & fed, your sugar levels falls. You fail to access the nutritional needs of your body that leads to hypoglycemia & hence anxiety. However, sometimes hypoglycemia can be dangerously fatal, so take care, eat healthy food in substantial amounts. When you feel anxiety attack visit ER without delay. Avoid stress & avoid any factor that triggers anxiety. Continue to take the medications prescribed by your treating PCP, take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K.

It seems more due to your low sugar content. If it's persistently low, then you need to consult your practitioner for adjusting the dosage. Low sugar can make you dizzy and fall. If after starting Zoloft you had these symptoms, then its dosage can be decreased till your side effects abate and then it can be increased gradually.
Best wishes.
