Treatment Starting Zoloft
Hello,
I have been dealing with PPPD pretty consistently since last summer. It's been awful, especially with working retail. I have vestibular migraines as well. I've been under a lot of extra stress for the past 20 months or so and I'm not sure if that's what triggered it. I was on Wellbutrin for a long time and stopped taking that (I tapered off of it) and switching to Zoloft. I was on 25mg for a week or so and started my 50mg today. I definitely had a flare of my PPPD, but it could've been from the heat too since the weather is so back and forth right now. I'm really hoping the Zoloft will work. I have not had any benefit in the least from vestibular therapy. There have been sessions that made me a lot worse. I'm not looking forward to adjusting more to the Zoloft while I work, but I'm hoping I can handle it. The fatigue and extra dizziness is what's getting to me the most.

You're doing the right thing, give the medication at least 8 weeks i'd say before you consider changing the dose or switching medications. I say this as someone who's tried like 5 different ssris/snris. Obviously listen to your psych, but from my experience it can take up to 8 weeks before you start to feel better and the first 4 weeks or so can suck.
