I seem to have been confused here by your terminology. I thought when you said "blackout" you were talking about longer periods of unconsciousness or loss of memory.

If you are getting dizzy and possibly fainting, d'oh, of course it's the Nardil. Low blood pressure and/or postural hypotension is maybe the most common side effect.

Try telling your doctor that you get dizzy when you stand up and sometimes faint instead of "blackout". If I misunderstood, he could have. And if he can't imagine that dizziness and fainting are due to the Nardil, well, that's pretty much hopeless. All you could do, I guess, is outright challenge him by putting the Pfizer information in his face and demanding that he tell you what "postural hypotension" is, and why your fainting doesn't fit the bill.
