Hi,

Pexep CR 12.5 is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) commonly prescribed for the treatment of depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, phobias, etc.

Its common side effects include vomiting, dry mouth, weight gain, decreased libido, and postural hypotension (sudden lowering of blood pressure on standing).

Based on the history given in your query you seem to be having postural hypotension which can be prevented if you take Pexep CR at bedtime.

If it still continues to cause dizziness you may please consult your neurologist for alternate effective medicine. Vibrania D is unlikely to cause dizziness or sleepiness.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
