Brief Answer:
Gradual relief

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Dizziness is more pronounced at the starting phase of medication.
Your body will gradually adapt to it and you will not feel dizziness for prolonged.
In the meantime, you should take plenty of fluids and avoid standing for prolonged hours.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
