> Are you saying "low blood pressure" when you say "orthostatic hypotension"? I heard EMSAM can lower blood pressure, and my doctor added a teeny amount of ritalin to my regimine to boost my blood pressure back up a touch. It's been working out great! Do you suppose your doctor would consider something like that if you asked? Maybe it would be helpful for you, too.

Laima,

I haven't been able to take a reading on my blood pressure yet. I have been experiencing dizziness, lightheadedness, headache, blurred or dimmed vision at various times. Originally it was only when changing position (e.g. bending over then standing up) but lately it happens just when walking up a slight incline. I do tend to have low bp, so should get it checked out. I tried to see the pdoc today but she was out sick. I don't have medical insurance at the moment so am very limited in my doctor visits :(

Thank you for your suggestion. I'll try to follow up on it.

I have been hoping that this side effect will go away. Maybe the low blood pressure side effect doesn't though? I'm in my 15th day at 9mg. Didn't have this at 6mg.

Best,
mayzee
