PARNATE-Side Effects of hyper/hypotension

Posted by Tori on October 26, 2000, at 9:26:40

Hi,

I am on 40 mg parnate a day for about six weeks now. MY BP used to be perfect, 120/80 range, now it is normally 80/60 or lower than that. What are the main physical implications of having hypotension over the long term?

Also, when you go into a hypertensive crisis, same thing, what are the long-term physical risks? Highest I've gone is 170/110. I know what *physically* happens when you go hyper- but searching the net has been fruitless in terms of finding out what these meds will do to a 26-year old in the long term with being a mixed state of hypo- or hyper-tensive.

I don't feel *that* great on these meds, just don't feel suicidal. I am physically exhausted, falling asleep all the time, insomnia.... my hair is falling out, too...which makes me think I should get more of a better thyroid test done...... sorry to get offf track there ........

I think I'll give up on it if after the dosage is increased (heard it can be up to 90 mg) and still nothing; I don't want to give it up now like any normal AD because of the sheer hell I went through going off AD's for two weeks in order to start this med.

BTW it is augmented with 300 mg lamotrigine a day, plus 2-6 mg clonazepam as needed.


Thanks for any advice!!!

Tori :-)
