Judy -
I just waited it out. Hypotension is not dangerous if it's not extreme. But it did make me feel kind of weak and tired, similar to what you described. Other than that and the creepy cold crown (which sounds like it may have been shorter-lived and less bothersome than yours), I had no symptoms from the low BP. What was really more alarming and potentially damaging were those severely high readings when the Nardil and Selegiline were combined, but fortunately they went down rapidly.
There must have been many times when my BP was briefly way too low on Nardil, because I had fleeting blackouts and fell down about six or seven times. And this WASN'T always orthostatic (i.e., just after standing up); once I just suddenly blacked out momentarily and fell to the floor in the busy restroom at my client's office.
By the way, I also felt a gentle, productive and confidence-building euphoria in weeks two and three of Nardil, but then it pooped out and gave me nothing but side effects. There was one day during that "good" two week period that really ended up worrying me, however: For 24 hours, it felt like I was in a dream and could not get out. Even though I didn't have an ounce of social phobia (my reason for trying Nardil) or cognitive impairment during those 24 hours, I was starting to wonder if I'd ever get back into the real world! Since I've never used "street" drugs, I don't know whether that was similar to the kind of high some of them can give.
