Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Your dizziness and headache could be a manifestation of residual symptoms of depression and even if you want it or not, you may have to increase the doses again. Otherwise the symptoms can increase with time.
You may try doing some relaxation exercises like progressive muscle relaxation or yoga and see if the symptoms improve. If they still dont improve then the doses need to be increased. you may again try to reduce the doses after 2-3 months again gradually.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
