Talk to your Doctor: There are many options for antidepressants & sometimes it takes several tries to find the best one for an individual patients that will cause the fewest side effects. Also, there could be some other reason than the medicaiton for your dizziness that needs to be addressed so that needs to be evaluated as well!
