    hi jenna

    yes dizziness was one of the worst side effects for me

    i was on 100 mg and gradually reduced to 50 and the dizziness totally disappeared

    i used to get dizzy spells constantly though so had to try different doses before i found my magic number

    they are scary. especially if you are out and about but like you, i used to get them just sitting reading or looking at my phone

    they could pass but i would mention to your doctor
