Anyone here suffering from dizziness?
Im currently taking sertraline for my depression and anxiety been on them for 4 weeks but havent noticed any change yet.
Went to the doctor about my dizziness yesterday as its something i used to suffer with for 2 years but it went and now it seems its back.

Anyone taking prochlorperazine? If so does it work for you.
I was prescribed it yesterday but havent taken it yet am a bit nervous to take new thing incase they make me worse.
Thanks

Do you suffer from low BP, or is it genuine dizziness (ie, spinning sensation etc)? Sertraline can cause low BP in some people - postural hypotension - when going from sitting to standing position quickly, although panic/anxiety can also cause dizziness.

Prochlorperazine did nothing for my dizziness or migraine I'm afraid, but no harm in giving it a go.

I'm also suffering form dizziness at the moment and it has lasted 6 mths :(
I was give the same drug at the beginning and it did nothing for me.
I was sorta diagnosed with labyrinthitis but it comes and goes (it is always there 24/7 but gets better/worse over the day) so i wonder if its anxiety?
Is it possible chronic dizziness could be anxiety??

Hi Katie, I have used Prochlorperazine for a long time now and it works well for me. I don't use it every day, only when I need it and within an hour the symptoms go away. It leaves a funny taste for a while after taking, but apart from that I have not experienced any bad side effects.

Everyone is different so it would be worth a try hope you feel better soon.:laugh:

Thanks for the reply mine gets worse throughout the day as well. I can start out okay in the morning but by 7pm its overwhelming.

Its good to here that the medication has worked for someone because wherever I have looked people have said its not worked for them and thats put me of taking them as well as all the side effects. I might try one later :)xx
