Narrative:
I was sitting at my 2R jumpseat as we were taxiing out. About 30-60 seconds before takeoff I smelled a musty vinegar smell that went away after we took off. Once I was able to leave my jumpseat in the air; I was dizzy and had a headache and had to sit for a few minutes. I informed the captain and rest of the crew of what happened and also submitted a report.
