Hey, you are not alone, cetainly not on this site at least, many people have the same symptoms you are describing, it sounds a little like agoraphobia-that's when you are scared to leave the house for fear of having an attack when you do. The dizzyness is common to a lot of people, I have it all the time and it may be a symptom of anxiety or a side effect of the drugs, it's different for everyone. I was also on Zoloft and it did nothing for me either. I am now at 6 months on effexor XR at 300mg/day and it took a while to get to a stable dosage, you may need to up yours(with your doctor of course) until you find a comfortable dose. I thought the effexor was pooping out on me every few weeks, you may have read an earlier post of mine, it turns out I just wasn't on enough of it and was processing it too fast so it wasn't helping me any, now I am feeling (not great) but definetly better. Hope you find some of this useful! :)
